How to Print from one network (house) to another network (house)

[sm100378]

Hello,

I have two locations. In one, I have one laptop that has internet capability. In the other, I have another location that has a computer that has my Brother MFC-7345N attached. It also allows sharing of printer use, so if I was there, I could print from my laptop wirelessly with no problems. Both locations are using windows 7 ultimate.

I am wondering how I can print my document on my laptop to my other location which has the printer I want to print to. I realize this has something to do with an IP address, I just have not been trained in this yet.

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks,
SM

How far apart are the locations?

How do both machines connect to the internet?

From the command prompt what is the result of ipconfig?

from a browser on each machine what is the result from myipaddress.com?

They are about 4 miles apart. The desktop that is connected to the Brother MFC connects to the internet directly via a Qwest broadband modem, which also is a wireless modem. I am able to use remote desktop to connect from laptop to desktop w/ printer.

It's going to be kinda clunky, but what you could do is install the same software you need to print from on both computers, then use something like Dropbox and remote desktop to copy the file to the machine with the printer, open the program, and print.

Two friends have used Hamachi to do this.
