Printing over BOVPN

Weird one...currently have 2 sites connected with MPLS and printing from SLES is fine, i rerouted the server to print over the BOVPN and the print fails (as a fax on a UTAX) put the route back in for the MPLS and its fine again.

No traffic is blocked everything seems fine anyone else seen anything like this?

Comments

  • Are the print reply packets going over the BOVPN or over the MPLS?
    ie. did you change how the other site sends packets to the print server?

  • The gateway on the printer is the watchguard on the remote site, no routing on printer I can see but the traffic is one way

  • You need to change the routing on both ends to go over the BOVPN for this to work

  • IVe just found the route on the remote watchguard...the remote watchguard is managed externally and ive just got access after they said there is no routing - im shaking my head vigorously thanks
