I have a laptop that I set up with another pc at my home as my network.it

1) I go to college which has it's own network which I sign onto that gives
me access to the web.

2) How do I get back to my home(house) router so that I can send anything I
want to print back to my printer at home?

3) The router's standard ip is the same as many.

4) So basically; How do I find my way from the web back to my printer at my
house?

Jeff,

To send jobs to a printer, behind a NAT router at your home, thru the Internet,
is not terribly simple. You're going to have to setup a VPN between your home
system and your laptop.

The specific possibilities for a VPN will vary, depending upon what OS you have
on each computer, and make and model of the router.
