Hi,
I may be way, way off on this but I'll take a stab. If everybody that
uses the printer sits on the 10.0.0.0 network (ie. 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.200)
couldn't you change the printers default gateway to be the 10.0.0.0 network?
That way it would send the replies back to that network and everybody on it
would get their print jobs done. I'm probably wrong but what the hell. =o)
