David,














You have made the beginners mistake with PPP connections. And it's 
easy to do as the documentation for ppp and networking is/was written
by persons who know the subject but don't know how to tell the reader
the things that they know and don't think about. 



1) Each machine should be on a separate LAN: I.E. 192.168.1.X is one
LAN. 192.168.2.X is another LAN. 



2) the PPP link between the two machines is a THIRD LAN and must have
a different network address than either of the two machine's LAN's:
PPP-machine-one: 192.168.20.1 and PPP-machine-two: 192.168.20.2.


ad



Then your route table on machine one should have:
192.168.2        192.168.20.1        UH         10     6680  ppp0



And on machine 2:
192.168.1        192.168.20.2        ...        ...     ..... PPP0



Make sure that your print servers have the local machine's IP is set as
the "gateway" for its network, and make sure that both machines are
set to forward all packets.
