Hello all

I have a strange situation here, I'm not sure where the problem lies so
I
don't know if this will end up being the right group.

I have a computer on a network that connects to a remote VPN for
connectivity and then uses RDP for backoffice. This setup worked
flawlessly
for the last few months, recently another office moved into the building
and
the IP structure was changed from 192.168.1.xxx to 192.168.123.xxx After
this change was put in place a strange thing happened where the network
printer worked but it would only recognize tray 1 and it requires the
tray
be swapped between legal and letter ... now the head office decided to
uninstall the VPN client locally and reinstall a new one. Doing this
made
the NETWORK Printer unavailble when connected to the VPN, even with
allow
local LAN access checked. So to make it work we reconnected the printer
to
the LTP port, however we're back to square one. The printer works, but
doesn't recognize the trays.

It's an HP Laserjet 4Si running on a windows 2kpro computer. I should
mention that when not connected to back office, both trays function
fine.

any insite would be great.

Thanks
-Andre



Andre, when you print to the printer from the RDP session, are you
printing to the network printer (directly), or are printing to the
redirected Windows printer?

The network printer is no longer setup, it's now connected as a local
printer on LTP1, the network printer stopped working after the reinstall of
the VPN client.

This set of steps is redundant in many places, and it's also enormously expensive, since you're using no less than three different expensive bits of networking hardware (AP, PIX, VPN Concentrator), in addition to a bunch of x86 server hardware, windows server licenses, and at least one ISA license. ...
