Hi you all,
I'm trying to print on clients printers. Now it works fine, but only using
NetBIOS clients names in a LAN.
I mean that using the following sintax it does work fine
$printer = "\\\\"."CLIENTNAME"."\\"."PRINTERNAME";
$handle = printer_open($printer);
but suppose that CLIENTNAME ip is 192.168.0.15, well if I try printing using
$printer = "\\\\"."192.168.0.15"."\\"."PRINTERNAME";
$handle = printer_open($printer);
doesn't work and if you look @ apache errors.log file you understand that
printer was not found.
If printing "via tcp" is not possible... how do I print on a remote site?
I tried a VPN connection form CLIENTNAME and SERVER (ip 192.168.0.100) using
Windows XP built in VPN server and client.
Connection succeeded, but browsing network for workgorup computers, from the
SERVER I don't see the CLIENTNAME. Instead of this I tried to run the
classic Run... with \\192.168.0.15 and WOW I've been prompted for user name
and password. WOW, it does work, I see shared folders and the shared
printer... but as said above... I cannot print on it. Viceversa from the
CLIENTNAME browser I connect fine to http://192.168.0.100.
HELP
Thank you in advance for any answer/tip/or help
Robert
