Creating Print Server Using DHCP

by jrobles512 . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

Scenario:
I am implementing a laptop cart consisting of:
2- 3com access points
1- 1 Gigabit dumb switch
1- Printer with network card
30- IBM laptops

This laptop cart will be utilized in a education environment. This cart will be moved from room to room, where students will need to access all network servers and folders.
As these carts move from room to room they will be crossing VLAN’s.
Setting up the access points to work on DHCP is no problem.
PROBLEM:
The printer that will move along with the cart needs to be dhcp as well so that the printer can be networked.
Question:
How can or is it possible to create a print server, somewhere so that no matter which VLAN the printer is on the laptops in that cart can print to that printer without having to reconfigure each time the cart is moved to another VLAN?
