Remote secure printing

[jmmckee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to send printed output to an outside entity.  Our corporate office has established a VPN connection with the outside entity.  They use Anentail to establish a connection through our corporate office to our i.  The IP on the device session does not match the IP of their computer.  I have been told by our corporate office that printing is not possible.  I had earlier tried to establish a remote output queue, but the IP address is the issue.  On the remote site, the printer is attached to a pc, and they have installed the LPD software, and the printer is shared.

Wild thought came to me late last night - lpr over ssh.  I have read where it can be done.  In this case, the connection would bypass the VPN, assuming the corporate office allowed it.  But, I am wondering if anybody has ever set up lpr over ssh from the i.  Is this in one of the RedBooks on printing?
