Printing through VPN

[asbowen]

I'm trying to use my home PC with a printer connected, with a VPN to my work PC, and printing back to my home (local)PC.

I have set up RDC to use local printer resource; I have installed the driver on my work PC but when I use Add Printer Wizard the home printer is not listed as a port.

Is there anything else I should do to make this work?

Thanks

Make a batch file (.bat), something to the effect of
route delete 0.0.0.0
route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 your_local_IP(gateway) netmask x.x.x.x
route add remote_gateway netmask x.x.x.x local_gateway netmask x.x.x.x
Some of those may be backwards, I can't remember how Windows does things...but run that batch file on your local machine that you RDC into.
