I was printing to a remote printer over a VPN from a Win 7 Workstation.  The printer was a HP LaserJet Professional, but I’m not sure that makes any difference…

Anyway, the print job would go the queue on the computer, and you could see sitting there spooling, and then it would flash, and spool it again… over and over… until the paper ran out (which of course you had no clue because the printer is half way around the world, right?)

So here’s my tribute to Al Gore – if you want to save trees by only printing ONE instead of ONE paper ream, go to your printer properties, and uncheck “Enable bidirectional support” on the “Ports” tab.
