IP Printing over VPN

Nov 02, 2005 2 Replies

I have a gateway to gateway VPN set up between our main and remote offices using Symantec 460 VPN appliances. These networks are on different subnets, x.x.233.x and x.x.234.x. I am tring to print from our main office (x.x.233.x) directly to an IP Printer (x.x.234.101) at the remote office. I added a printer driver in windows machine at main office with TCP/IP port of the printer, but test page will not print. We have a workgroup with win2000 machines all around. I can ping and telnet directly to pritner directly, tested ports 9100 and 515, which are open to traffic. I have tried every combination of driver setting with no luck. Any Ideas?



Yes Pritner has default gateway set to the VPN appliance at the remote office.(x.x.234.1). I do not have a WINS server running, as I only use IP addresses. Also, I do not have file browsing setup across the VPN. Do I need these in order for printing to work?
