Hi,
I think, you would doing a NAT in this case and your packets to the
printer would already be going as a public IP address. So the printer
would be knowing where to send the responses back and you wont be
needing another NAT.

Subject: TCP/IP print through firewall
All this reading about routed protocols and routing protocols makes you
think you know it all, until you are in front of a new funny situation.
I am
sure that someone out there can explain this to me real quick and easy,
so
here's my question.
We have a LAN with a private network 10.0.0.0, and from a workstation I
need
to print to a TCP/IP ready printer at another company, which has a
public
address 100.100.100.100 (this is ofcourse not the real one).
My computer should not have any problems getting routed to that printer
via
it's default gateway (the firewall), via the firewalls default gateway
(the
router), via the routers default gateway (our isp), and so on.
BUT, the computer needs a response from the printer so it knows that
it's
there and ready, but when the printer tries to reply to my computer
10.1.2.3, it will be dropped by it's default gateway (the other
company's
router), because the 10.0.0.0 network is not routable through the
Internet.
I'm I right, and what would be the thing to do here?
Would I HAVE to do a NAT on my workstation so the printer can reply back
that way?
Thanks for any comments on this,
Ole
