I believe that if they're using IBM Client Access, and you've opened the necessary ports, they can simply add a virtual printer using the client. Otherwise, you may have to create a remote output queue for them and open up the LPD/LPR ports for this.

While the list archives made it easy to find out which ports Client Access needs to operate through the firewall, I'm not sure which IP ports printing uses. When I do an NETSTAT *CNN, I recognize the remote ports for the various print servers, but the local ports seem to be all over the place. What ports will the firewall administrators need to keep open? Also any general advice about both allowing and securing such access would be much appreciated.
