Hi, I would suspect using LPR/LPD would be your best bet. You will need TCP printing services on an internal NT server.(probably require a reboot) An IP address for the jetdirect card in the LP 6P When you define the printer on the server and select a port , choose add port/lpr port type in the IP address or the printer and for the queue I put the hostname (any name will do) I use the IP address rather then the FQDN in case of DNS outages I am not that familiar with the ports the printing system uses. I think it uses 515/TCP The way I would do it is to set a rule up: internal server printer any any log and check the log for the way it behaves and change the rule to suit. actually.... hang on...ah here we go.. checkout http://securepoint.com/fw1/ and search on the keyword printing I just turned this up: I did: Source Dest Service Action ipaddress printer/ tcp/exec Accept ipaddress (port 512) Nigel. >>> "Andreas Gotthardsson" <[email protected]> 17/11/98 >>> Does anyone know how to open firewall-1 for LPR (Line Printing Utility) Thanks /Andreas Check the rest of the posts out at the archive cheers deanc -----Original Message----- From: Liyun Yu [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 3 October 2000 3:09 AM To: Checkpoint FireWall Mailing List Subject: [FW1] Sharing the Printer Behind a Firewall I would be appreciated if someone would show me how to do this. We have a HP Laserjet 6P printer that needed to be shared behind and across the firewall for some users. Could I know how should we configure our firewall to make this happen? The printer was installed on one of the NT 4.0 Servers behind the firewall. Of course I wish we don't have to sacrifice our security to do this. Many Thanks in advance. --Liyun *************************************************** This e-mail is not an official statement of the Waikato Regional Council unless otherwise stated.
