Comment on Printing at Home when Connected to a VPN by Leslie Horst

In my case – home network, Ethernet, networked printer (i.e., no computer is serving as the print server), 3 computers – I have exactly the same problem with printing (i.e., I can’t) when VPN’d to my workplace. How would your procedure be modifed in that case?

Thank you! I was about to toss out the computer because of this persistent trouble when I was trying to print. I’m far from a computer geek, but was able to figure it out with your clear instructions.

How do you get the AT&T branded crap off the phone? I have unlocked a CU500v and use it on T-Mobile.

What are the “Branding” file names called in BitPAM?

I know this is old info, but my LG CU500 will not get recognized by the BITOIM s/w. I cannot do anything.

Thanks

Very kind of you Adam! It’s been an amazing experience. I encourage you to use your time away from work to explore your passions and interests. Although losing my job was not pleasant…it has certainly turned into a rewarding experience. Cheers.

Thanks so much for posting this guide. I work in a one-person office so it’s a lot like being at home, especially when tech support in the mother ship don’t understand the quirks of the local setup. Anyway, I’d searched high and low for a way to be able to print to the office printer (which is hooked up to the network and has its own IP address) when using the VPN.

The only part of your instructions that didn’t work for me was creating a persistent route, so I used a batch file. Since the user account under which I use the corporate VPN is very locked down I needed also to add the “runas” command to get it to work. So now I log onto VPN, click the batch file, enter local admin password, and hey presto I can print for the rest of the VPN session…! Here’s my batch file in case anyone else has the same problems.

runas /noprofile /user:[computername]\[localadminusername] “route add [printer IP address] MASK 255.255.255.255 [router IP address”
pause

Thanks again!

Ralph,

Explaining how to add/remove a printer is a little beyond the scope of this little write up – if you are mucking about with network settings and running a VPN then it’s kind of assumed you can add/remove hardware. A quck bit of Googling “Add a printer windows” got me this link for Vista:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-or-remove-a-printer

If you are using something else, try Googling for that version more specifically.

Good luck.

Adam
