It is how the network is configured where you want the printing to be done.
Do they use AD, and do you have print servers set up? If so then you are pretty close. If the printers are just attached to a workstation then it is harder.

Thanks Stephen. That's one of my RG solutions. As you say, it requires a PC in remote location that no one uses. Trying to keep people from mucking with an un-attended computer in this company is like fighting off sex addicts at a hooker's convention.
So Windows doesn't have any way to route packets via TCP-IP protocol to a printer at a remote location? I find that surprising.

I have a client who wants to be able to print from his computer to a
network-connected laser printer. No problem...except, the network printer is in a different city 105 miles away.
I can think up a few "Rube Goldberg" solutions, but I'm guessing that there is already a way...is there a "Windows Way" to do this?
Many thanks for any brain cycles.
