Normally, we put the printer on the network as a network printer and then install the printer to the VPN as a device.
I think it's the same for you...you share the printer on your laptop, then it should be able to be found by the office computer as your laptop is on the VPN.
Assuming you can connect via Remote Desktop without any issues...
Printing through Terminal services requires that printing be enabled in the Terminal Services Configuration (Client Settings Tab). It also requires that the printer driver be installed on the Terminal server, not the actual printer (as it shows under the control panel) but just the driver. You can install just the driver by going to File/Server Properties under Printers and Faxes ON THE TERMINAL. Install the printer normally on the client machines.
Note: For a printer to work via Terminal services it needs to have a compatible driver (which I believe is called PCL??) So some consumer printers (the ones that only come with Setup programs, not just driver packages) will not work. The majority of HP Officejets and laserjets are fine, as are Brother lasers.
first of all i would like to know..how is the printer connected..is it connected through USB or WIRELESS.. please let me know..so that will provide you some steps..
I am guessing this VPN is something work related and not a VPN you setup yourself?? If that is the case your company's VPN access will not allow you to pass from there network back to yours which is why you are unable to print to your local home printer when connected to VPN. You might could run it by your IT staff and see if they will allow connection and help you set it up. If not then simply email the docs to yourself and then print them out after you are finished using VPN connection.
This is apparently a common problem with this model, but HP has not offered any help with it. Mine did it a few weeks ago and I found the solution in another thread on fixya. Follow this link and then open the back of the printer and disconnect the wireless card as described by Maggix. It will kill your wireless capability but let the printer start working again. http://www.fixya.com/support/t648531-hp_7410_all_in_one
I think I have solved this, any way it worked for me.
Turned off printer and turned off wireless router made sure no computers are on.
Restarted printer make sure wireless settings are installed in printer then restart router.Once router is up and running switch on computer and you should be able to print.
Hope this works for you.
