As long as your printer works at home via IP (either directly or through Windows if you are sharing out a printer- do you have printer sharing turn on and the right firewall setting in Windows?) then printing over the VPN will work as long that traffic is not filtered.

I have a Brother MFC printer on my office net and if I'm out of the office and need to print, I just bring up my VPN before I do it.

The same would be true for your RPi as a print server. As long as you can print locally via IP and your VPN allows the traffic you should be fine.

Subject: [PLUG] Installling rpm file on Raspberry Pi

I had sent an email about getting my Windows Printer to look like a Unix printer but have since decided to setup the Raspberry Pi as a Print server. My question here is the VPN client I need to run (Sonicwall netextender) comes in an rpm file.Now I need to figure out how to install the rpm on the Pi as there is no Package manager bundled and from my searches it keeps saying I need .deb files.
Am I screwed with this or can I install it and I am just going the wrong route?

I am not sure this will work on the Pi as I haven't seen the requirements for the client. It is one of Dell's best kept secrets I guess.

TIA
