    Printer on Diff Subnet - help

    How come I can't connect to a network printer on a different subnet? I can ping it fine, but I can't bloody connect to it! And I can't telnet to it either, not that it really matters. Putting it on the same subnet is not an option.

    Set your subnet mask accordingly.

        the printer itself is probably set to only accept from its subnet, check the printer config and if possible change to allow your subnet as well.

          Use a computer with access to both subnets as a gateway?

            There maybe some access lists on the router that is blocking subnet A from subnet B, only allowing packets like Ping to come through.
            Talk to your local network support guy to see why you can't connect.

            Also it could be the printer itself not allowing you to connect via an access restriction list configurable on the printer itself.

            Good luck!
