Personally, I don't think that is possible . . . But I may be wrong. I don't think you can do "dial-on-demand printing" for lack of a better description. Heck, what port would you install the printer on? Ain't gonna work. Either have them bring the printer to where you need to print and hook it up to the network, or tell them to suck it up and buy a new printer. They aren't THAT expensive - heck, you can even buy a HP deskjet-series printer and an external Jetdirect card and network it - coupla hundred bucks and you're all set. Good luck trying to get your scenario to work - I think you're really gonna need it.

Well, really this is a strange scenario. We've just installed a new billing system that went waaaay over budget...So, now I'm tasked with connecting to/printing to an Okidata 321 Microline printer in a remote location. This printer is connected to a modem. Here in the local facility we have an NT Server and another modem. We want to be able to configure this NT box to dial the modem that is remotely connected to Okidata and send it print jobs. An external modem is also connected to the NT box.
