Using ssh Port Forwarding to Print at Remote Locations

Source: Linux Journal

ssh--oh yeah, that's a secure Telnet program, right? Yes, it is, and it's much, much more. You're not still using Telnet, are you? Previous issues of Linux Journal have talked about the ``much, much more'' of ssh (see Resources). In this article I show a specific example of using ssh to do ``much, much more''. I also demonstrate how to use ssh's port-forwarding feature to connect the printing systems on different networks across the Internet, at the same time securing the data while in transit.
