Printing Remotely

[centuriongy]

I've set up and tested a remote printer using GBridge for a POS application. Both systems are on the same account. The test went well when we configured it, but after going back to the system 2 days later to use it, nothing printed.

Are printers mapped via name path or IP address? If name path, why shouldn't this work? Does a new session change any of the variables needed to establish and maintain a network printer's connecton path?

Secondly, does GBridge assign a new IP address each time it connects to GBridge servers? Or are clients given the same IP address each time they log on?

Because of the MS protocol limitation, the printer is mapped via ip address, i.e. \\10.239.x.x\printer

No.

Yes, most of the time.

I tried to add the printer from my server but it asked for a URL or printer address. All I have is the printer make and model.
