OK, with little experience in setting up remote printing, this may seem
like a stupid question.

Scenario:

Client of mine has a T1 connection to WAN. I've branched off a
3com Office Connect hardware firewall inside of the T1 connection.
T1 has it's own IP address and the firewall as another static IP
address. The firewall is NAT'ing the internal IP's via DHCP as in
192.168.0.5 - 192.168.0.100. The first internal IP's are static as in
192.168.0.1 is the firewall/gateway...0.2 is an NT4 server functioning as a
print server as well..0.3 is another file server and 0.4 is the CANON IR300
multi function printer. All lan based printing to the CANON is fine, as
the clients can add printer using it's UNC name.

What I need to accomplish:

Printing to the Canon printer from the WAN side.

What I've done so far:

Port forwarding on port 9100 from firewall to both the print server and the
printer. NO LUCK. Completely taking the firewall OUT of the equation by
disabling it. NO LUCK. I'm not sure how to even ping the printer from the
wan side since obviously it's an internal IP address. Port forwarding on
port 9100 seemed like the obvious choice since that is common to HP
printers. Maybe not correct here? I've enabled guest to print to the
Canon printer on the print server and TCP/IP printing services is installed
on the print server as well.

Any help is appreciated since I don't have much experience in WAN printing
and googling information on this is relatively hard since not much info
exists. HELP! :o)
