the latest beta support remote printer.

to use it:
- on the computer that host the printer, click gbridge option button -> advanced options
- check "windows shared folder" checkbox in the open to my other computer's group
- restart gbridge
- on the computer you want to print from, in gbridge friend tab, click the icon of computer that hosts the printer, select "explore windows share folders". A couple of second after after the password prompt, you should see a explorer window that list all the share folder and share printers of the remote computer. Select the print you want to use, and double click.

My greatest need is to print to a printer 20 miles away. Is this capable?

Ok, so what password is it wanting?

Windows may ask you for the password of your account on your remote pc when you try to connect to your remote pc's share.

BTW, you need to share the printer out on your remote pc.

Yes, you can print to a remote computer if you know the IP Address of the computer. You can use the printer of that remote computer.
