So simply using 'lpr file.pdf' on the remote machine doesn't strike you as a bad idea? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

but I guess I'm just as well off leaving them listening on 22 and 631? As for printing from lpr to cups across the internet, I should be encrypting that data shouldn't I? Nothing too sensitive but it sounds like a good thing to do. It looks like cups can use ssl but I don't see any mention of it in man lpr. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

That's more or less what I'm trying to do. Is setting up a VPN between my remote server and local network overkill? I think the only thing I'd use it for is to hide the sending of these printouts. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

So I would set up openvpn on my remote server and connect to it from: 1. my local print server for printing 2. my laptop for ssh and imap Could I also only allow access to my website's admin pages through openvpn? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
