Hello Keith, Jonathan & Kahlil,

thanks for helping me out.

On the printer, I found nothing to help me further.
I tried both port forwarding and Socks proxy, and both work!

So I can now configure remote printers faster.

Greetings, J.

I'd use a SOCKS proxy for that.  On your local machine run:

   ssh -ND  remote_server

Then temporarily configure your web browser to use localhost: as its proxy.

In Firefox the setting is under Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection

Since this is only temporary, but something you might want to do from
time to time, consider one of the numerous browser extensions that
help with this. For firefox, I use the Toggle Proxy addon to toggle
between no proxy and the manually configured one.

Hope this helps,

Kal

You could also use SSH port forwarding to let you open up the printer's web 
page on your workstation rather on the remote server.

You will need to figure out what URL the printer wants.  You can look at
the source HTML to see if you can figure it out.  links might be able to
show more of the page, as well.  That might be a total solution, as
there may be even more ''unfriendly'' coding that prevents you from using
their UI from a text-based browser (e.g., point-and-click JavaScript).
