[TMG] last printer problem was solved few minutes ago

[supat at supat.eu.org]

I found it at:

The default NAT setup does work, I didn't need to mess with the 
networking!!

I am using Ubuntu 7.04 with Windows XP as a Guest OS, but I'm sure this 
will work similarly with other Host OS's running XP.

If you go to add the printer in Control Panel on the Guest XP OS, you 
select Network Printer then select the "Connect to a printer on the 
Internet or on a home or offfice network" option.

In the URL field below that you need to type it in this format.

http://DEFAULTGATEWAY:631/printers/PRINTERNAME

The Default Gateway of my XP OS is 10.0.0.2 and my printer name is 
Photosmart_2570 so mine looked like this.

http://10.0.2.2:631/printers/Photosmart_2570

Then after you click Next it will ask you to install the driver for it.

Edit: BTW Make sure that the internet firewall has the port open otherwise 
it MIGHT not work.

Hope that helps.

========================


I just test printing from VB to linux server thru epson fx80 (30 years old 
printer) and it can print good picture w/o problem.

Reason it was hard for me because I print nothing from linux since 20 
years ago.

The important point is use only NAT in VB.
Other network method will not work.
