Print to a remote printer?

[Velvis]

I have a client who I has a work computer and a home computer.

Both computers have LogMeIn and the work computer has LogMeIn Pro.
I know Pro allows her to redirect the printing from the remote computer to a local printer.

But she wants to be able to print to the office printer from her local machine.
Meaning she wants to be able to print a Word doc running locally at home but send it out to the office printer.

Is that possible some how?

I've used Google Cloud Print to do that type of thing.

Google cloud print is nice, but right now you can only print from chrome or by uploading you doc to print. However there is a work around, I have successfully used this product in the past to setup a local virtual printer that prints over Google cloud print from ANY application.

And with cloudprint you could setup a wapwolf automator thingy to auto print a document and delete it if it shows up in a specific dropbox folder.

hack.

We typically have them rdp to the computer and have it connect printers.

It's most definitely possible. My wife works for HMRC and often runs training courses for them as well as her normal duties. She was once running a course in London and needed to print out some training material - 200 A4 sheets of it, to be precise - and forgot to change printer locations. The result was 200 pages being churned out of the printer in Preston, 240 miles north of where she was

We use an Epson printer that allows you to email your document and print. It doesn't run applications. I think what is to be printed must be in the body of the email. But I can't check that this weekend.

Is emailing the file in pdf format and printing it on the other side an option?
I guess it is a cheaper way?

You could setup a vpn with LogMeIn Hamachi.
