Remote Desktop and Printer

Is is possible to connect remotely to my home network, from work, but print pictures/files from home to my printer at work?? If so, how would I do so? Thanks!

Not with RDC. You can do it with www.Logmein.com though. There is also a free version, and really easy to setup.

Thank you!

Do I have to install that software on work and home computer or can I just install it on home computer?

You only install it on the computer you want to log into. If you want to log in to your work computer from anywhere else, install there also. But make sure you have permissiong form work, and the correct admin access...

All you need is a IE or firefoxx connection to the internet. It is pretty fast. You can almost stream videos across.

Just so I'm clear...I want to login to my home computer from work and be able to print files to work printer....so I just need to install on home computer right?

To do that you would need to login from work pc to home pc. Install the program on home pc. Then either do it with the tranfer files options.. or email them from your home pc to work and print...

*Great, just noticed my work blocked logmein.com

I am not entirely sure about printing in that way. I did see some new feature in the paid version... but if you do a trial version of the full (1 week) you will be able to find out. If you then cancel the 1 week trial, and go back to free... They will offer you the service at a a really cheap rate. (after you do a survey). If they dont have the option, ask if they plan to do it shortly... they respond quickly to requests.
