No, as this doesn't belong to the individual software, but to your operating system's printing engine. If you're using linux or Mac, then you're using cups and cups has this functionality built-in. You need of course configure the system with the printer accordingly (i.e. open your firewall accordingly, and allow it to accept print-jobs via the network). Windows has at least the client-part (i.e. print to a network-connected-printer somehwere), but not sure how much effort it would be to make it accept print-jobs from outside- but then again you can share printers/files & folders in your local network, sharing it to the internet is not really any different. > or would you rely on another app to do this?

See above - it is at the printing-level, not at the application-that-wants-to-print-level where this has to be setup. And to my knowledge, all current operating systems support this already, some easier, some a less harder to configure accordingly. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
