The next section describes the process to discover additional printing devices by specifying either individual IP Addresses or additional Subnet Addresses. The devices can be for any IP Address that can be discovered on the network, even if the device is not local.

The only criteria is that the IP Address(es) must be accessible from the PC running the PagePack Assistant software. If those desired devices cannot be discovered by the PagePack Assistant then another PagePack Assistant software would need to be installed on the network that can see the other devices.
