137/138 Broadcast Logging

I need to allow broadcasts from 172.16.4.x to anywhere on 137/138 and not log them to make access to a printer on a real ip behind a seperate firewall available to the natted network, is there a way to do this?

I have thousands of log entries like
11:58:05 172.16.4.140 138 -> 172.16.4.255 138 UDP
11:53:57 172.16.4.107 137 -> 172.16.4.255 137 UDP

If I drop the broadcast traffic it is dropped and the printers no longer work, but the traffic is still logged.

I have searched the board and tried the suggestions to no good result.
Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

Jerry,

there is no way to route broadcasts. How to exclude
those broadcasts from logging, you'll find lots of
postings here!

read you
