Setting up Epson Printer for Remote Internet Printing

Configure Printer

  • Set DIP switch settings on IP Printer
  • DSW2 8 ON, (All others Off)
  • Assign Local IP Address to printer

Configure Sonicwall

  • Get an External IP for the printer to use (WAN Primary IP)
  • Setup Router/Firewall to NAT translate the external IP to the internal IP of the printer
  • Open up Ports 80,443, and 9100 for the Printer to use

Configure Printer Port

  • On the GOPS server set the printer TCP/IP port to the external IP address given to the printer
  • Keep the printer set to RAW using Port 9100

 

 

  • Ensure bidirectional support is unchecked

 

The Server should now be able to test print to the printer. If there is a modem in front of the SonicWALL you may need to setup additional ports to be opened, if allowed I would set the modem to bridged mode and allow the SonicWALL to handle all traffic.

 

Be aware that this works from going from a remote source to a direct router, if you have a modem or router in front of the sonicwall then this becomes a Double NAT issues and becomes complicated to achieve
