Re: AS400 Printing to WAN

Steve,

More info?

Are the Sonicwall's VPN'd together?
What is the Printer connection?

Specifically the print server hardware and that should tell you what 
port it is working on. You have to know the port in order to CRTDEVPRT 
or CRTRMTOUTQ anyways. Most HP use port 9100.

If the Sonicwall's are providing a VPN tunnel between them (the best 
option) then there is no other setup on them.

If you are not using VPN you will have to create a "Service" on the 
printer network's Sonicwall for the port you are using, and then add a 
"rule" that uses that "service" and maps it to the destination IP. You 
will probably want to set this rule to only accept from the IP of the 
other Sonicwall.

Be aware it probably takes a fair amount of bandwidth, in both 
directions, to make printing work reliably. Most DSL is ADSL which means 
the outgoing speed is half or less of the speed you are paying for. I 
think you are going to want 128Kbps actual speed at least. Much more if 
you are doing AFPDS/IPDS graphics.
