>I would
contact Kodak (formally Creo formally Scitex) these guys have solutions that
work
Ack! With no offense to you or anyone at Kodak (whose
products I have respect for), I personally avoid trying to contact Kodak about
anything as by the time they respond (or figure out the appropriate person to
respond), technology has made your initial query obsolete. I’m sure they
have good solutions, but remote proofing doesn’t need to be complex, or
cost an arm or a leg and I’m sure a solution from Kodak is at least one
of those, if not both. I’m no IT guy either, but simplified, to communicate
with a remote site, you need info from the client PC (or Ethernet card of the
printer if connected sans PC)…IP address, subnetwork mask, and gateway. Once
you have the IP info, you could simply add a new network printer with the Add
Printer wizard within Windows, and select that as your output device when
printer. Of course this is pretty insecure, which is where using VPN would come
in which would allow a secure, encrypted tunnel to their network. Once
connected this way, you are on their network (through the firewall) and can
access whatever you need.
