hi all,

my sco os5.0.06 box has a network address of 10.100.100.10. i need to setup a printer that has an ip address of 10.100.120.50 so that i can print from the sco box to the printer. i need some help with this one. i have setup remote printers sucessfully when they are on the same network as my sco box but i have never tried to do this type of printer setup before. so before i mess it up, i thought i had better ask first.

will some kind soul point me in the right direction.

thanks a lot!




Everything depends upon the class of your network. If your 10.xxx.xxx.xxx network
is a class A (netmask 255.0.0.0) then you should be able to ping the printer
(built in print server?) without a specific route.

If you can ping the printer you should be able to print to it. If you can't ping it,
then you likely have used subnets in the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx space and need to set up
a route to the 10.100.120 segment from the 10.100.100 segment:

route add -net 10.100.120. 10.100.100.xxx < where xxx is the gateway to your WAN

If you have a gateway set up, and you still can't ping, then it's likely that
the IP setup on the printer does not specify the gateway on the 10.100.120
network to get the ping back to 10.100.100.50.
