filePro Printing over a Satellite

[GCC Consulting]

I'm thinking about using direcTV's professional installation (with fixed IP
address) on our 40foot trailer that goes all over the US, and process the orders
directly on our servers here.
These are locations that don't have phone lines, and don't even have digital
cell service in some places.

I'm fairly confident that I can ssh or use the web okay, but printing picking
tickets and receipts might be my downfall.

I'm looking for naysayers why I couldn't print to a printer as follows:

Unix                                               Windows  HP Laser
Server - Internet - DirecTV - Dish - Modem - Hub - Laptop - Printer

I know I couldn't print directly via samba to the printer since I'll have to use
NAT on the other side of the modem in order to share it (probably via a
foolproof Linksys switch), but I should be able to do some sort of local print
with Anzio or PuTTy methinks.

If you have a Windows PC at the other end, have you considered using GOTOMYPC
service?

This might take care of most of your problems.
