Question : Print to remote printer over the internet
I need to print to a network printer in a different location over the internet.
Location A DSL-ROUTER-LAN-PC
Location B: DSL-ROUTER-NETWORK_PRINTER
The remote printer is a network printer and directly connected to the router. I would like a PC independent configuration, so that no PC has to run on the remote location when I send a printjob to the remote printer.
I understand IRR would be an option but not sure about the security issues nor how to set it up correctly. Security is not a major issue for this setup but the installation should be reasonably secure. I do not want to set up an VPN. Is there some easy way for security, such as user identification, ip-filtering or to send print data encrypted?
Can I use any network printer or better a print server adapter (e.g. Lan to USB adapter and a USB printer instead of printer with integrated LAN port).
Any help appreciated
Answer : Print to remote printer over the internet
Yes you would need to port forwarding on thhe remote router. The port number varies from printer model to printer modell.
It would be added just as you add a normal network printer.
