Re: hp MFP M227fdn for home user - anyone used for i forms?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

​Supported network protocols
TCP/IP: IPv4; IPv6; IP Direct Mode; LPD; SLP; Bonjour; WS-Discovery;
BOOTP/DHCP/AutoIP; WINS; SNMP v 1/2/3; and HTTP/HTTPS

With LPD supported, I suspect it would work fine...if you can connect to it.

Are you planning to use a software VPN on the user's PC, or a hardware VPN
connection?

Hardware should work fine, everything on the user's network would be
addressable.

With a software VPN, there are two issues
1) some VPN clients can be configured to not allow connection to anything
on the user's local network while connected to the VPN network.

2) You'd probably need to use a iAccess printer session to allow for
printing over VPN.  Not positive if that will work...
