Thanks, Ted.
I knew there was an Internet protocol that addressed printing...I just
couldn't remember the name. I agree, opening a port for this specific
option seems goofy though. The Google Cloud Printing looks really
promising and there are a huge number of printers from many different
manufacturers that support it. In fact, I installed a new Samsung
printer yesterday that supports cloud printing by Google.

Several of the printer manufacturers offer the equivalent of Cloud
Print, like HP Mobile Printing:

So, you might want to check if the manufacturer offers something similar.
Failing that, you can use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) if your
router supports it.
Bear in mind any of these solutions open holes in firewalls to let
things through, and need to be reviewed carefully.

I have a client who wants to be able to print from his computer to a
network-connected laser printer. No problem...except, the network printer is
in a different city 105 miles away.
I can think up a few "Rube Goldberg" solutions, but I'm guessing that there
is already a way...is there a "Windows Way" to do this?
Many thanks for any brain cycles.
