[THIN] Re: OT - printing across the internet

If you can't get LPR or 9100 to work, then IPP may be worth a look.

They make it out to the Internet.  I am guessing the downstream printer is
having the problem.  Sniffer shows the traffic leaving my network, but I am
not getting a response back from the printer.  I am beginning to suspect
that it may not be on the Internet like I was told, but behind a Linksys or
somthing like it.

Adam,

My first guess would be that you've got some firewall blocking your
traffic......
How far do the jobs go?

Onderwerp: [THIN] OT - printing across the internet

HI All,

A bit off topic, but this list usually has the answers.

I am trying to print to another site across the internet.  The print queue
is to be hosted on my server.  The printer itself has a direct connection
to
the Internet via a Jetdirect.  By that, I mean the Jetdirect is connected
to
the Internet.  My assumption is that to print across the Internet to this
printer, I should treat is as an LPR.  Correct?  I've added Print Service
for Unix to the server so I can configure LPR ports.
The problem I am having is that once I enter the IP address of the printer,
there's not much more I can configure.  I don't have all the goodies that
you get when you create a Standard TCP/IP port.    Other than the fact that
this printer is on the Internet, is there anything else that I am doing
that
is wrong?  The problem is that my print jobs don't go through.  I can't
despool to the device.

adam
