I have two Comcast cable modems and one printer.
How do I print from a computer connected to one cable modem to the printer connected to a computer that is connected to the other cable modem? My wirelss router connection is inconsistant and i like the speed I get with the two cable modems on different floors, but I need to share that printer.

If you want the print job to go through the modems (each connected to Internet), then the print job will have to go out to Internet from one modem and come back to the other, making things harder.

More simpler solution is put an additional network card for each computer and have that NIC connect to the other network so that each PC will be dual-homed.
