Re: Question about using my PC and printer at home using a VPN to connect to Power 8 running 7.2

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

I have setup a VPN connection on my home PC to connect to our
corporate office.

(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
