    First up, you need to know what subnet the printer is in and what router
it uses to get there.(This router address is probably the client's current
default gateway setting). If you know that info, you use the route command
to add the routing info to the client machine. Type the command "route ?"
at a command prompt to see the syntax. The command you need would look
something like this.

    route add -p 192.168.21.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

where 192.168.21.0 is the target subnet and 192.168.1.1 is the router
address.
