ProblemYou cannot print to a networked printer after setting up Internet Connection Sharing. SolutionUsing the printer's setup features
DiscussionInternet Connection Sharing uses the 192.168.0.x TCP/IP subnet for all computers that use this feature to communicate between networked/LAN-based computers to the Internet connection on the PC that is sharing the connection. If your LAN uses a different TCP/IP subnet, and your other PCs and printer may be able to communicate with each other, but they will no longer be able to communicate with the PC that has ICS installed and running. The necessary correction is to configure all PCs and networked devices to use the ICS-compatible network addresses. This situation applies if you are using a printer that has a TCP/IP connection, or a network printer adapter, and your workstations print directly to its IP address. This does not apply if you share a printer from another computer or on a server.
