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
