PRINTING TO A REMOTE PRINTER

I am using windows xp and was connected remotely to a printer fax machine. I
had to purchase a new router. After setting up the new netgear router I
cannot print. The printer is connected to a dlynk router. I am not sure what
adjustments I need to make for the connection to work. I am not very computer
savvy so if someone could help me in easy to understand terms I would be very
grateful!

Hi
It would be helpful if you would describe Network wise what is all the
hardware involved and how it is connected.
As far as Network Printers go, the Printer's software (that came with the
printer) has to be installed on each computer (choosing the Network options)
that is going to use the printer.

Two routers, one at "each" remote "office." Each one are used to
connect to the Internet and the new remote Netgear needs to have the
"network" printer protocol set up on the "port forwarding" section.
