V-Tech Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm trying to find out if it's possible to have a printer connected to the internet with a cable or Wi-Fi, using a router without any computers around and be able to print something when i send the router or the printer itself an email for example that it will print. Not sure if it's even possible or not so any help would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamLC Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 HP ePrint printers do exactly this! http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/campaign/photosmart/eprint.html The printer gives you an email address and you just send it what you want to print. It also supports Google Cloud print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted April 2, 2012 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2012 you could open the printer port 9500 and setup a port on your local machine to use the outside ip as your printer. it is kind of dirty but this is the way I was doing it back in 2002-2003 for a dental office. it would be beneficial to use a dynamic dns provider to make things a bit easier.

MattL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Port is 9100, never heard of 9500 used for printing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
