Sharing BOCA Printer

Hey David,

Great to hear from you, I hope XMAS etc was good and Melbourne is treating you well.

Thanks for contacting me, I haven’t had any luck with the USB sharing, settings seem to drop off once it is shared, so l’ll try with an Ethernet switch – I might get back to you after I have set that up.

Cheers

Justin

Subject: Re: [Tessitura Technical Forum] Sharing BOCA Printer

Hey Justin, long time no speak.

We share a BOCA here on the internal network through Windows Printer Sharing, and can print from both machines without a problem. So it definitely can be done, just not sure what the difference between sharing it on a home network and sharing it on our internal network might have?

Happy to talk you through the config if you want.

HI - can anyone advise on the best method of sharing the BOCA printer between two laptops running Tessi at a remote site?

We run the BOCAs on our internal network through ethernet and fixed IP without problems but I need to share the printer between two laptops with a wireless dongle or provided wireless at a remote location.

I set up printer with USB connection and can Test Print from Windows and print from Tessi.

I then shared the printer through a home group. But once it appears on the second laptop I can no longer print a test print from either laptop?

As anyone any advice on the best way to configure the BOCAs or Windows 8 in this scenario or what the issue might be?

Thanks

Justin
