You're halfway there. It wouldn't print from the template because the templates don't normally have network access. See here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/ Network printing can be done multiple ways, so it depends on your setup. For example, if you only want to print from a certain appvm, you would choose "Deny all except...", then add a firewall rule in the firewall tab to allow access to the IP of your printer. Assigning a static IP to the printer will make things much easier (which would be done on the printer itself if you're not sure). Alternatively, if you're trying to both print from a certain appvm and access the internet from that same appvm, you would choose "Allow all except..." and then simply make sure that the appvm in question is not behind a vpn or tor. No specific firewall rules for the printer would be needed in this case. Using a xubuntu HVM might be a little trickier, but if it already has networking set up, the same concepts would apply. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
