He could try loading the Device drivers on his work PC for his home printer
But there are issues with that.
1. Most mutli function drivers to be installed require the device Locally
attached to that pc
2. Multi function printers don't often work with RWW because of their heavy
use of local PC software.
If you can get the Multifunction printer installed on the PC at work
and it still doesn't work.
You can try to redirect the port from a DOT4 to a LPT port
(Info on this here
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Misc/Q_21460318.html)
HOWEVER!
I personally recommend a low-cost Laser printer for that person.
(No muliti function just a plain laser printer)
He can load just the print drivers on the pc at work and then it will work
remotely.
The cost of laser printer is low and the cost per print page is lower than
InkJet.
And remote printing should work fine.
and I love the personal Laser printers work great and low cost printing.
Sorry this issue is not a Limit of RWW but more of how Multifunction
printers operate.
I hope this helps.
