Printing to Local (HP) Printer behind (Linksys) router while Logged Into Remote Host

Hello Experts,

My situtation is I administer a remote dedicated server (running Server 2003) for web hostings, email, etc.  While I am logged-in (XP Pro on the local machine) via a remote connection I'd like to print to the HP3500n on my local area network. The local network is behind a Linksys (cable/DSL) router.

I believe my problem is allowing the Server to see the printer (on a local print server) through the LinkSys router. But there my be other factors inhibitors as well.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Eric

You would need to set up a route to the printer from the remote server, and enable a gateway on the printer.

Great. Could you please provide an example of the route and how to enable a gateway.

Thanks,
