how do I Print from different subnets to the same printer?

[lbeets]

I have two subnets at our school. One is 10.40.204.0 and the other is 172.16.10.0. I have printers on one of these subnets and want to print to them from the other subnet.
Exp: I have a printer whose address is 10.40.204.9 and I am wanting to print to it from a computer whose address is 172.16.10.55. The computers and printers are on the same backbone and are not seperated by a router or bridge.
Can I do this without hooking up two print servers to each printer. Some of these printers are shared by computers that have only one IP address limitation.

Do you have a device that is routing between the two subnets? In theory, your Internet router should be capable of routing between the two subnets, and should be doing it automatically as long as you have an IP in both subnets assigned to its interface.

Then you need to make that device the default gateway for all of the computers, or you need to create static routes that tell each of the computers how to get to the other subnet.
