Hello,
I am looking for a way to connect to my HP All-In-One printer from a remote location over the internet. The printer is connected to my router and works fine while I'm near by. How do I do it when I'm in the next county or out of state?

because your printer will be on your local net (internal network) i would think the only way to connect to it would be thru another computer that is connected to the network.

unless someone more aquainted with routers can shed some light on port forwarding.
