Dear Jvrn,
Thank you for the information. I suppose if I am using VNC WITHIN our LAN, I can use printer sharing. However, I am coming in from the outside. What do you think would happen if I first established a VPN connection and THEN started up VNC? I will have to try that. Best wishes, /s/ Alan -----Original Message----- From: Jvrn Nettingsmeier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Remote Printing Alan Auerbach wrote: > I want to print on a printer local to the client machine from an application > running on the server machine.
