Also as far as I know, Qubes firewall only acts as a NAT, which means it blocks in-coming network, but not out-bound network. So if you initiate the connection to the printer, it should then allow a full connection for the printer to reach back to the AppVM. Last time I did a printer VM, I didn't need anything fancy here, it just worked by putting the printers IP (or its DNS network name address). So I don't think you need to mess with firewall networking, I'm almost sure you only need the address, which the printer should be able to print out for you in its settings menu. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
