Printing To Remote Printer with No Pc in remote location - IPP direct printer access

[TOMONEAL]

I have an office with a Cable drop to a Cable Modem with an ethernet
connection to a Wireless router. In that room is a printer connected
to a wireless print server. There are no computers connected to the
wireless router (But 3 VONAGE Cisco ATAs with 6 telephones are)

I have two static IP addresses assigned to my account. one for the
cable modem, and one for the wireless print server.

The wireless print server manual claims accessing this printer
directly via IPP is possible from my remote location. (I will call
the room via phone and need to print 300 to 500 paqges of data per day
directly to that printer from my location - 1500 miles distant.)

Placing a PC in the remote location is not an option. No way to
maintain, reboot when hung, etc. Would prefer a rock solid hardware
solution that no one but myself can access.

Has anyone tried this? is it dooable?

Thanks

Tom

It's doable..... But you would need forward port 631 (see
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3510.html) to the private ip address of
the wireless print server. You would then use the IP address of your
wireless router..
