Remote printing over the internet

My Time Capsule is in a storage room, connected to my cable modem.
I have an Ethernet cable connecting the Time Capsule to my Airport Express in my home office. The Airport Express extends the network. My printer is plugged into the USB port on Airport Express, so I can print wirelessly.
The Time Capsule supports MobileMe, which means when I'm away from home I can still connect to the Time Capsule's hard drive. I can even run Airport Utility remotely.
What I can't do is print to my home printer. The Time Capsule supports printing to a printer connected directly to its USB port, but I can't figure out how to print remotely to the printer plugged into my Airport Express.
Is this even possible? If I replaced the Express with an Airport Extreme, would that work?

you're probably thinking of ZfD4.x, where you can remote control by
just specifying the IP address.

  • Printing to a printer over the internet - someone please verify

    My mission was to be able to print to my Home Xerox 6300N printer behind a firewall from anywhere using the internet as my connection. I used LDP as my protocol - could not seem to get anything else to work.
    My Gateway is a static address using a DSL connection. I have 2 ethernet cards. 1 for the internet and 1 for the localnet.
    I am running OS X 10.4.6 and have Flying Buttress as my Firewall.
    I have IP share turned on.
    I opened port 515 for LDP in Flying Buttress. In Flying Buttress, I allowed port 515 to point to the IP address of the printer.
    From work I opened the Printer Set-up Utility and selected Add. From there I held down the Option key and clicked on More Printers at the bottom.
    I was now in the Advanced section and selected LDP as my protocol.
    I named the Device Name: Xerox
    The Device URL would be lpd://<gateway ip address>:515
    I then selected the driver for the printer and clicked Add.
    So I printed from work and had my wife check the printer to see if anything happened. And YES IT DID!!!
    So there you have it - I am now able to print to my Xerox. I hope this helps anyone who wants to do the same thing.
    Now the next thing I need to figure out is how to print to my HP 5000N printer. Since I already used port 515 and mapped it to the Xerox, I need to figure out what port I can use for the HP printer. I guess I need to figure out what protocol the HP 5000N will accept.

    OK - I will answer my own question. I just figured it out. Actually I posted this once before but since forgot how I did it and the post was archived or deleted from this forum.
    Anyways, to print from my work printer over the internet to my printer in my office, I did the following...
    1. In printer set-up, I selected LPD
    2. In the address I entered my static IP address of my home's gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:515
    where 515 is the port for LPD
    3. I named the printer Home Printer
    4. Set up the printer (Xerox) and selected the correct driver.
    5. Made sure the port (515) was open on my gateway @ home and directed that port to the IP address of the printer. I use Flying Buttress as my firewall.

  • Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

    Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

    The first question answer is yes..
    The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
    See remote access tip here.
    AirPort
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
    Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
    Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

  • I do not own neither a Mac nor an iOS devices. May I still be able to use all features of Time Capsule, including remote access over the internet?

    As described above.
    I do not own neither a Mac nor an iOS devices. May I still be able to use all features of Time Capsule, including remote access over the internet?

    You will have setup issues.. as the latest AC model requires a Mac or iOS device.. eventually apple will release a windows version of the utility.. and the current one does partly work but Apple seem in no hurry.
    You can find a Mac or iPad equipped friend to do the setup.. once setup the Windows computer can use it.
    BUTT you cannot access it from remote..
    Not with windows. You need BTMM and iCloud account. AFAIK even with those you cannot reach the TC.
    You can do it manually.. using a vpn. Buy a proper vpn router and use a vpn client on the windows computer.. the TC would be in bridge to the network..
    Apple really did not make this for windows.. and SMB access is only provided on LAN access not WAN.

  • Remote Backup Over the Internet to Time Capsule

    I am looking to backup my macbook pro over the internet to a remote Time Capsule.  Is there a solution?  i'm using Lion OS

    How easy or hard this is depends on how the TC is setup, but if it is the main router and is getting the public IP from the modem it should be relatively easy to share on the internet. I haven't done it so let me leave that for you to google or others here to answer.
    Here is a pre-googled one for you to start.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1792838?start=0&tstart=0
    You can do it manually using port forwarding from the router, if you are not using TC in router mode.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
    Note the requirements to use a public IP address (static address is far superior to do this) or dyndns address.
    Getting port forwarding to work in some routers is non-trivial.
    Apple should have designed the TC with secure ftp or some sort of vpn/ssl access.. but I digress. They didn't and as yet nobody has managed to hack one in.
    But I guess I would be trying to talk you out of doing it at all. Upload on vast majority of internet connections is slow.. even if you have fast downloads, uploads are usually restricted to 1mbit.. you might be fortunate and have really fast connection but mostly uploads are far to slow to want to do this.
    Lion will recognise that you are not on your home network, or the external backup device is absent and use local drive to take a snapshot.  Although a local hdd is obviously less safe than a true backup, it is generally an excellent solution for roadies. That is why it is turned on by default in notebooks.

  • Remote control over the Internet?

    Hi,
    I was under the impression that there was a way to use Zenworks to
    remote
    control via the Internet.
    I'm a consultant and support several NetWare 6 installations and would
    love to be able to use Zenworks to support my clients from here.
    The only way I have seen so far is either to remote control a
    workstation
    with something like PC Anywhere and run Console One remotely.
    Did I miss something?
    Is anyone doing this? How can I do this?
    Thanks

    Is Google iPhone remote a hack (therefore possibly bricking my phone with an iPhone or iTunes update) or is it a legitimate browser based application that you access through Safari?
    Not a hack, it's a web-2 html server-based program that you run on your Mac that allows you to control your Mac remotely. It's very entertaining to say the least. I do like the fact that I can view several types of files remotely, Word, Excel, PDFs. It is password protected BTW.
    It looks browser based therefore ok but I just wanted to check with those of you more technically savvy than I am.

  • Printing over the internet

    I would like to print to my office printers from home. I believe that I need to set up port-forwarding at the office end, is there a 'guide' of some kind out there that lists my various option?
    Thanks in advance
    TeZZa

    That is correct. If the port is open, chances are someone will try to exploit it. If it is another port, they would not know which port to try. It still is not a complete security solution. Be sure to set up passwords for everything.
    Another way to do this, perhaps even more secure, is to set up VNC on an office computer, send your file to that computer and print it on that computer. VNC allows you to control a computer remotely, like Timbuktu (another option) has done for years.

  • Get an error message trying to access a remote PC over the internet on Mac

    At work we have a remote web work place. I can get into the site but when I try to access the link to the computer list the message below is displayed.
    Error Message:
    This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again.
    With the new Snow Leopard it has support for the remote exchange server 2007. The one I'm desire to access would be XP Pro, but I'm not getting far enough to address them yet. When i use my PC there's a gold bar that comes down and says install Active X and I accept. Any idea's?

  • Reading/writing to remote database over the internet

    Hi,
    We have a hosted APEX application and have a requirement to be able to query and update our local database. I believe our options are:
    - Set up some web services locally and reference them from our hosted APEX app
    - Create a database link from the hosted instance to local instance and query/update the tables directly
    I'm looking for opinions and advice on the best (secure, reliable) way to approach this.
    Thanks,
    Andrew.

    Yes, put a servlet in between the applet and database. Let the servlet interace with the database on the applet's behalf and write that file on the server side.

  • Remote Access Over The Internet

    I have an iMac G5 in my home office setup, from which I am able to access the main server here at our business office. I can download files to my home computer, work on them, and upload them back to the server when I'm finished.
    How can I/do I set up my home computer for access in the opposite direction, in other words, to access files on my home computer from my office computer? Do I need any additional hardware or software?
    1Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Are you using any type of router at home? If not you don't need to do anything special except enable Personal File Sharing on your iMac G5.
    If you are using a router, you will need to configure the iMac G5 to use a static/manual IP address and then forward the appropriate ports through the router to your iMac G5.

    Is it possible to print to a printer over the internet ? Anyone know how to do this ?

    Hi Mark Craghill-
    Can you be a tad more specific? Is this printer located on your same network or physically somewhere else? Wireless or wired network? Do you know the model of the printer? What are you trying to print from?

  • P2V over the Internet

    Hi!
    We have an Exchange 2013 Server running on win 2012 Std on an physical machine. We need to have the backup for this as a VM on a remote site over the internet. What are the requirements and recommendations? We already have hyper-v servers on remote site.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, here is a reference about the requirements of Exchange 2013 virtualization:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj619301(v=exchg.150).aspx#BKMK_Prereq
    We need to make sure we have enough RAM in the physical hosts for allocating memory for the VM we’ll create during the P2V migration, take care of enough free space on the disks for hosting the virtual hard drives and configure virtual networks.
    For more information, you can refer to the following documents:

  • My HP Laserjet P1102W is used over the internet

    Tonight my printer started to print. Not my work. Somebody printed over the internet.
    Printer is HP Laserjet P1102W and it's connected to my WiFi and it is shared locally.
    So how can it be that someone, from tens of kilometres away can accidetly print his work with my printer?
    How can I secure that printer that this will never happen again.

    Hi K-PAX, welcome to the HP Forums. Have you configured your printer with HP ePrint? HP ePrint will enable you to print from anywhere in the world if you have an internet connection. If you do use it, you can set your account up with restrictive printing. If you do not use it, you can probably disable Web Services. Let me know if you use HP ePrint or not. Here is a general reference document on the feature: Getting Started with ePrint
