[X4U] Seeking help with remote printing

[Jim Colgate]

Good suggestion, if they had a system to log into. Note that I said  
that they just have a router and a printer. The only time there is a  
computer in the house is when one of us kids bring our lap top for a  
visit.

So I am still looking for a way to remotely connect to their printer  
from across the country.
