I have a printer on my network that I wirelessly print to from my laptop. I have the drivers installed on my laptop. So when I try to print to this printer from my laptop when connected through VPN (using openVPN) the print doesn't take place it just sits there in queue.
Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? Are there extra steps I need to take?

Re: Print to network printer over VPN
Not sure. This one may require some research on the internet. How is the printer connected on your client, IP addrress or URL? If it's URL, then use the fully qualified name, i.e. printer.hda.net.

Re: Print to network printer over VPN
I believe it would be considered via IP address. Yeah, I think I will have to do some research on this. From my understanding, this really has nothing to do with the server so it's purely a VPN/openVPN "issue".Not sure. This one may require some research on the internet.

Re: Print to network printer over VPN
While connected to the network over VPN, I re-added the printer through the Windows wizard and for some reason it worked. It's been consistently working for a week or so. I'm not sure what the exact solution was but that worked for me.
