No it is not possible. When not part of a network you do not have the sufficient privileges to access the printer. If the network was setup as a VPN you would be able to connect it from an offsite location.

∙ 13y agoIf the computer has wireless capability, then you can set up an ad hoc network for the computer and printer (only).
If the computer doesn't have wireless capability at all, then it should be fairly obvious that attempting to connect to a wireless printer (or anything else) wirelessly is going to be an exercise in futility.
However, most wireless printers (I won't say all, but all the ones I've personally seen) have cable ports for connecting via more traditional methods as well.

How do you Share a Network Printer over 2 or more LANs?
Its hard to answer a question like that without first knowing the structure of the overall network. However usually its as straight forward as plugging the printer into the back of a router. Then from there you go round all the clients and search do a search for a network printer. Input the IP address of the printer and that should do it. So long as you are sure both networks can see each other then there really shouldn't be much problem. Usually the hardest part is trying to figure out a strategic place to put the printer.
