| Re: [PLUG] Setting up a Windows Printer to print to accept print jobs over VPN |
The SCO server is going to need to be able to route to your home network so you need a way have those routes automatically added when you VPN from home to work.
If you have admin rights on that system, you might want to add a host route to your Windows printer server via the VPN router as work and then see if you can telnet to the appropriate printer port (515, 9100, etc).~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Subject: Re: [PLUG] Setting up a Windows Printer to print to accept print jobs over VPNI can do that but when I work at Home I am on a remote server (SCO 5.0,6) over the VPN. So to print form that server I need to have the printer available using lpr. At $WORK I usually have the printers setup via HP Printer manager using port 9100 but since I am on the a remote network connecting via the VPN the printer will have to be on a machine running the NetExtender VPN client. I can't do that on a printer.I just tried to install the netextender on my Raspeberry Pi which has the printer in question attached to it but the version I got from $WORK is for an i686 and the Pi is i386.The more I try this the more I think I will have to grab a Spare Juniper out of the parts bin at $WORK and setup my own little network connecting to $WORK.As I type this they just sent me the 32 bit version so I can try that route one more time.On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 1:07 PM, Keith C.

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 you RPi as a printer server. As long as you can print locally via IP and your VPN allows the traffic you should be fine.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Subject: [PLUG] Setting up a Windows Printer to print to accept print jobs over VPN___________________________________________________________________________I am setting up my home office and connect to $WORK via a VPN through the Dell Sonicwall Netextender. I would like to setup my home printer as a printer on the VPN network. Would it be possible to have the printer on my Windows 7 machine be available for my UNIX (SCO OpenServer) servers to print to. Our WAN guys say my account is setup that it should accept print jobs to the IP address I am assigned when I log into the VPN.My issue is setting up the Windows 7 machine so the printer will be able to see the requests.I installed the Unix Print services for Windows on my Windows machine and can see the LPR port available but when I go to set it up it asks for the ip address of the server. I am unsure if I put the IP of my WIndows machine or the IP I get when I connect to the VPN.On the flip side I am wondering if I just try to use my Raspberry Pi as a print server connecting to my $WORK network with the VPN.TIA--John J.
