I neglected to mention that you would need to forward the print job to the printer by setting up port forwarding in the router.

I would like to ask the following:
I would like to ask the following:
- What is your printer model
- Do you have DSL/Cable connection? or just sprint broadband?
- Do you have a router where your printer currently located? what model?
- Are all of your laptop using sprint broadband? or some are just located where the printer at?

Maybe I am not clear... I need to print to a printer, in another city, that can only access the internet via a broadband card. I need some solution... if there is one, where a person not knowing much, can setup a printer there, connect it to the internet using a broadband card, and we can print to it
The solution I suggested can be done but it isn't plug and play. It requires a bit of knowledge to configure. Perhaps someone else has a simpler solution??

no good answers... i guess we can close this out
I believe my suggestions are the feasible options. Because the last 1 is you--> ask a software developer to do it for you (which is a little expensive)

I think my solution is also practical. The average user probably could not do it but any competent Computer repair shop should have someone on staff who could set this up in 1-2 hours depending on the number of laptops involved. I'm not going to object. I'm just offering a friendly suggestion.
