Printing through a vpn

[tsnyder]

Hello. I have setup a vpn from a remote location to the main office.
The server running at the main office is Server 2000. I have setup the
printer using a local tcp/ip port using the ip scheme from the remote
location. Long story short... I can ping the printer from the main
office, I can telnet into the jetdirect the printer is connected to.
When I try to print is acts like it is printing... i can see the job in
the queue.... eventually it just times out. Im looking for some
assistance please!!

If you are printing raw make sure port 9100 is open. If you are printing
lpr make sure that 515 is open. You can test this by using telnet.
"telnet printer_ip 9100" or "telnet printer_ip 515". You should get a
blank screen with a blinking cursor.
