It is very likely that you have a router using the static address.

You are correct my home router has a static address

If the VPN is set up in the router, your printer will be visible from the office.

The VPN was setup using Windows7 to create VPN connection

The router probably has a function to do "IP forwarding", you can set it up so the printer will be seen in the Internet with your static address.

I do not see "ip forwarding" on my home router, I have port forwarding but I cannot specify a Port# when creating a remote OUTQ
and I do not want to forward all ports to the printer IP address


I prefer to connect to the office using port 992 (secure telnet) rather than VPN.
Havn't tried this

(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
