Remote Printing: SSH?

tracer · 02-28-2006, 12:17 PM

I have two RH linux boxes - seperated by the internet. Both are behind firewalls, and only acessible via SSH.

How would I create a printer on Box1 which could print to an IP printer on Box2 ?

Basically I want to log into Box1 via SSH from Box2, and have Box1 forward a printer (or print job) back to an IP print que on Box2.

I am assuming that I can do this via SSH port:machine

ort but, how do I setup the printer on Box1?

Thanks,

Setup a network or shared printer from Box2, then configure cups or whatever it is you use to print from Box1 to use the shared or network printer.

Sorry.. Let me be more clear.. The boxes are in seperate physical locations.... I want to setup a print que (listening to port 9100) on Box1 which I can then forward port 9100 to a printer connected to Box2's network on port 9100
