Re: what's with VPN trashing my network printer?

["Jeff Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well,

        It would depend on how you have the network printer defined. If you
are using Netbios/SAMBA then yes it most likely is the "network"
configuration and setup.

        If you are using IPP then it might be a routing or netmask issue.

        JMS..
