Quick question?

Is IPP a secure way to print over the Internet?

Basically, we are going through a remote working project here with Thin Clients accesing a Citrix NFuse system over a broadband connection. We need a way for the users to be able to print which I can get working by external ip addresses and port forwarding on routers but this means the print job isn't encrypted on its way to the printer over the internet.

I know I can create a VPN in but we want to move away from this as we might be getting upwards of 200 remote users so I don't want to do a VPN for each.

We were gonna have Citrix autocreate local printers but we have had loads of probs in the past with this.

Can we get a way to get the Thin Clients to auto create a locally connected printer which pops up in the NFuse session even though NFuse is set not to auto create local printers??

Alternativly, is there a way we can securely send print jobs over the web??

Ta!
