You could use LPR to add the printers locally to the thin clients. They
should show up in the session. Depending on your device, it should be
very easy.

Also, you could use VPN.=20

Subject: [THIN] Multiple printers with thin clients

Using NAT, I have a remote office with only thin clients and a network
printer (not physically connected to the thinclient) who connect to a mf
xp fr2 server farm across the wan.  Their print traffic gets redirected
back to the printer at the remote office fine.  My problem is, there is
going to be more than one printer at this remote office.  I'll need to
distinguish which printer the print job gets redirected to.  How will I
do this with only one external IP assigned to the remote office?  For
the one printer I just have the firewall map the port its connecting on
to the internal IP of the printer.  Unless there is a way to change
printer port numbers for the additional printers, how is this going to
be possible when I just have the one external IP assigned to me?
Netbios sharing isn't an option because those ports are blocked by my
ISP.
