Printing from Optional port WatchGuard Firewall

As I suspected, manually setting the printer did not help

None of the information I asked for would compromise your network, and it's fully available to anyone inside your network.

If you don't want help in fixing this, don't give the information.

Those last statements are true only if you want those devices to be able to communicate into other zones (incuding internet) via the firebox. I frequently don't program GWs on attached devices that don't need such communication.

If you read back through, he's trying to talk across interfaces (LAN/DMZ).

Agreed, and I told him twice that he needed to add a GW to his printer. :-) I just don't think one should *always* do that. Especially with newer devices, that have increasing capabilities on the internet, one never knows what sort of vulnerabilites might pop up.

I agree, and I don't do it when I setup a network, but I also don't put devices like printers/workstations in a DMZ/LAN that have to be accessed from the other network. Sure sounds like a bad design from this side of the screen :)

Printers are cheap, you don't need to open a gaping hole in the protection for them.

Yes. I don't like it either. It was to be temporary. However, I will wait till the new server behind the firewall is ready then role out the new reporting tools.

Thank you Leythos & Russ Best regards, Joschi

If you had just provided the details, you would not have to wait, and you would have it working already. The details I asked for would not have compromised your network.
