| | Re: Internet Printing Hello and thank you for responding to internet printing, actually I know I could accomplish this task by sharing through a computer but I do not want to do it that way and am looking for a direct way through the print server itself. Maybe it can not be done the way I want. Thank you.

| | Re: Internet Printing Is this a direct method to the print server without using a computer? I tried to make it visible but this did not work either.

| | Re: Internet Printing Yes you would need to place the print server some place where another machine on the internet can ping the device.
