This question may be more appropriate for the Networking newsgroup but
will try here since it involves Terminal Server.

We have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server setup at our main office. It is
also a DC and DHCP Server -I know, bad idea. Our remote office will
connect to the main office via a VPN using Static IPs at each office,
using router-to-router IP-SEC.

The main office uses 192.168.1.xxx IP addresses from the DHCP server.

We have a TCP/IP - based Canon IR-2270 printer/copier at our remote
office that WYSE thin-clients will print to when using the application
on the TS at the main office. The thin-clients get their IP addresses
from the router there -there is no server here. Our VoIP provider is
setting up the VPN and has not yet provided us any details on its IP
structure.

So, when we install the Canon driver on the TS , and choose
Local>Create Port, what IP address should the printer have? Would it
be a 192.168.1.xxx or one based on the IP structure at the remote
site? The printer wizard will prompt us if it cannot find the printer
on the network, and obviously it will not have a chance until the VPN
is setup.

There is a third-party vendor "installing" this printer and we want to
tell them to go ahead and add a static IP address to the printer

Thanks!
 
Re: Printing to TCP/IP printer -VPN&TS

Yes, this is not actually TS specific. It would be more appropriate in the
printer newsgroup or networking newsgroup. This is because it involves
installing the printer directly on the TS server and not auto-creation of
the printer by TS.
