Thank Art,

If you are using the VPN in Windows then that's the only device that's visible to your company's LAN.
OK

You need to use an ACS printer session because that can connect to the IBM i and then connect to the printer on the LAN.
I will try this when I get home, it sounds the simplest.

If the IBM i can ping your routers address then you can go with Remote Outq. I think the port is 9100.
I may look into this if I cannot get an ACS printer session to work

I would just go with a regular printer device though, you can specify any port you want.
I am going to try this


Thanks

John

Art,

The Printer is on my local network (not attached to the PC)

My Router (at home) has port forwarding where I can forward port xxxx
to IP address I do not see how I can specify a Port# when Creating a
Remote OUTQ

I do not want to forward everything coming into my home public IP to
my printer

Any ideas how to get around forwarding everything incoming to a
specific printer IP?


Thanks

John

Is your printer on your local network or attached to your PC? If it's
on the network, you could create a remote outq to point to your public
IP, then you would setup port forwarding on your router to go to the
ip address of your printer.

If it's attached to your PC, The VPN will provide you with an internal
IP Address, 192.x.x.x. For your printer to work, you need to setup an
ACS printer session, NOT a remote Outq.

Have you tried using a printer session?

To connect your IBMi to your remote printer you'll need a LAN-to-LAN
VPN. I guess you're using Win7 VPN client, so IBMi can only see your
PC, not your printer, unless you install something like WinLPD or
MochaLPD and point the remote queue to your PC.

Good luck

(Using the VPN within Microsoft Windows 7 Pro)



I am loading IBM i Access Client on my home PC to do some
programming at home.



I also have the need to print so I assume I can setup a Remote
Output Queue on our Power 8 (correct me if I am wrong)



My ISP assigned my home a static IP address with my PC and printer
having IP addresses of 192.168.1.xxx



Can anyone tell me how I can create a remote output queue on the
Power
8 that will connect to my HP laser printer at home.



Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions you may offer
