Thanks for the help Leythos.
On your configuration, did you just get vpn enabled routers to create
the tunnell, or did you actually dedicate a PC to be a VPN client/
Print Server at the remote locations? What I'm trying to avoid is a
PC that is sitting there simply to act as a print server. IF I can't
get around that, I'll deal with it as best I can. Management at the
location has stated they did not want a computer to sit there on for
just printing. However, if it's necessary then I'll have to explain
that and get the policy changed.
It has also been suggested to me that I attempt to port forward 9100
to the individual printers, but I'm not quite sure how that would
work.
The remote offices are directly connected via VPN Appliance - some are
cheap ones, some are very nice firewalls that work as VPN Appliances.
The printers are connected to the Main Office terminal server via their
IP at the remote office, through the VPN, so that the remote office must
use the terminal server to print to them (you could also setup the IP
based printers on their local computers) - we normally just ship them
Neoware Thin Terminals.
The printers MUST have fixed IP addresses, do not try and forward an
untrusted connection to your printers through a router/NAT - only do
this through a VPN tunnel.
