Hello everyone...

Here we have an small advertising office with the following rigs:
Printer: Konica Minolta Bizhuhb C450
PC: Two Desktops and Two laptops
Copier: Riso Z200

The Printer Is connected to one of the desktop systems and shared between the others.Recently my sister asked me to connect to my printer from home.Is there a way to do print jobs from home,using my office's printer?

Thanks in advance.

To print on a printer that is not on your LAN, you'll need some more advanced software. Two solutions I found from quick googling are to use a VPN, or to use Google Cloud Print. Both of those require using third party software and giving out some of your information, but if you already have a VPN or a Google account it might be worth looking into.

I can't find any other easy solutions to make this work out. I don't think there's any way to directly connect the printer to the internet so that you can access it from home.

Would I Can use remote desktop for printing?
I Don't know how to use remote desktop, but I heard about it.

I guess, you could. You'd still get another way to get the file over to that computer, but it would work. Remote desktop just lets you take control of a remote computer, so if you can email yourself the file you want to print, then open it in the office computer through remote desktop, it would work. You'd need to keep the machine at the office on, 24/7, though, and it's not a particularly elegant solution, since it also gives full access to the work machines.
