Print over internet?
We have a label printing program that prints product labels and they are different depending on what country the product is shipping to. Are there any solutions that would allow printing to a printer in a customers location? If possible would like to avoid connecting our networks with a VPN. Was wondering if there was any way to setup a printer connection over the internet.

Thanks we have thought about PDF/email route. May end up having to setup a VPN and only allow the print traffic. I'm not crazy about that idea though.

Dr. K has a point. If you set up a printer for internet printing, make sure it is restricted as to who can use the internet printing feature.
Short answer: Probably not
Long answer: No, but you could have your program print the labels to PDF and email them to customer to print themselves.
There are some printers that can receive prints via email over the internet (My HP Officejet does this, for example), but obviously customer would have to own a printer with this feature.
