Printing over the internet

[Guest S]

Hi

 

I have main office and remote site.

 

In the main office there is win2003 server and fw.

 

In the remote site there is router and a computer that a printer is

connected to it.

 

There is no connecion between the sites except the internet.

 

I need to print from the main office to the remote site.

 

what should I configure in the workstation and the windows firewall and

whuch ports should I open in the router ?

 

How I can configure the printer in the server and lets some workstation in

the main office to print the printer in the remote office?

 

Than'x

Shay

Hi,

 

I suggest that you have a site-to-site VPN between both offices. Then with a

VPN, printing would be easy.

Wrong - you said Windows server AND FW - that means Firewall. If it's a

firewall you can setup a VPN to it.

 

Just because you improperly implement a solution doesn't mean you can't

properly fix it.

 

Setup a Site-Site VPN between the locations and then print via IP and

you won't have any problems.

Re: Printing over the internet

 

Hi

 

I can create a vpn or site to site, but I cannot. I dont want that the

workstation will have any connection to the server only that the server can

print in its workstattion. Is there Internet printing or somthing like that.

 

Than'x

A Site-site VPN does not have to be all ports and does not have to be in

two directions.

 

You can enable, if you have a quality firewall, traffic in ONE

direction.

 

Consult a professional for firewall rules and to ensure what you think

is a firewall can do this for you.

 

Also, the workstation would only have access to the server if you don't

properly have permissions setup.

Re: Printing over the internet

 

Hi

 

I have WIn XP Pro in a remote site.

 

A printer connected to it.

 

There is a router, with vpn only port redirection.

 

The router has static IP.

 

I need to print to the printer from the internet.

 

Is there a way?

Which ports should I open in the router?

Which port should I open in local XP firewall?

 

Than'x

Shay

Re: Printing over the internet

 

I wouldn't recommend this , but please refer to the following 2 articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257416

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307847

 

The concept is you will need to setup IIS on your WinXP machine and bind a

hostname or domain to it. Then ensure that DMZ is pointign to the IP of the

WinXP machine.

Forgive me, but I won't tell you how to do it over the public internet.

It's a bad idea, great way to compromise the machine, will cause the

computer to be exposed.

 

If you already have a VPN to the site, why not put the printer on the

network and then print to it through the VPN?
