Your problem most probably is that your gateway is missing a (host) route to the print server. Because of that, it routes requests to the print server through its default interface (the one connected to the internet. AFAIK, something like # route add -host 192.168.2.253 eth0 Should do the trick. And if that gateway is already the default gateway for your LAN clients, these clients should be able to reach the print server as well. Otherwise, you need to find out how to push static routes to the clients (via DHCP) or configure them manually where necessary. J. -- Watching television is more hip than actually speaking to anyone.
