I actually have quite a few clients using the config. Its much cheaper
than faxing. ;)

Here's what you need:
A legal IP address assigned to the print server card _or_ use static NAT
If you use static NAT, make sure ARP and routes are set correctly

You need a policy rule as followed:
Source: ITPS-Net
Destination: ACL05
Service: Printer (TCP/515)
Action: Accept

For testing, you may want to add the service "ICMP-Proto" so they can
try pinging the address in order to test connectivity.

Now, they need:
A local system to do print spooling (Unix, NT or NetWare will do fine)
The spool has to be pointed at your print server's IP address
The spool has to be pointed at the same queue name you assigned to your
print server
The correct print drivers loaded for you LJ4

Given all of the above, the setup should work fine.

Cheers,
Chris
