Printing via WAN (HP1300n)

[Thomas Tin]

I want to perform printing via WAN

Site A --> Firewall A --> Internet --> Firewall B --> Site B

Site A : internal IP : 192.168.0.x
Site B : internal IP : 192.168.1.x

HP1300n is located in Site B and its IP is 192.168.1.10. PCs in Site A want to perform prining via WAN. I need to set up port mapping in Firewall B, what port(s) should I open? Is it possible? If no, any other good methods?

Thanks

hi,

you need tp configure some kind of VPN, as these Networks (192.168.xxx.yyy) will not be routed in the internet.

If you like to print only, you need to open port 515 on the vpn-tunnel

Hope this helps

Hi,

Not sure if this is possible for you but if you abre able to set up a tunnel between the two sites, you should be able to print trough that tunnel. ( VPN tunnel)
if not:
I suppose you use the rlpdaemon to print to remote servers:
/usr/sbin/rlpdaemon
this daemon can be started by inetd, and is able to use inetd.sec ( man rlpdaemon)
This deamon uses: 39/udp if i am correct ( cat /etc/services).

HTH,
