If the printer is not available on the Internet, you can't print to it. Sure you can, but the means are somewhat devious. I can print from anywhere with google's "Cloud Print". There is also an HP app which works with particular printers from outside your local network w/o baring yout printer to the world. I str that both require setting up via google's chromium browser.
Can you set up a CUPS printer and access it from elsewhere, if you didn't configure it and your firewall to allow such access? No, I didn't think so.
You answer your own question w/o facts and incorrectly. Your problem.
Patrick, James is right. Normal security policies discourage setting up a CUPS printer accross the internet, because amongst other things the password is passed in clear. CUPS is only a local print service, David was asking, albeit a year and a half ago, about a method to print from an android tablet to a openSUSE server, locally, without using any external service for legal reasons, and Mr BlackSpruce solution is just that. Yep, I searched for David post once I knew it existed O:-) I do not currently need to print directly from my Android phone, but I have saved this for future reference. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
