I have a friend who has had a new baby and wants to work more from home.

I've got her set up so that she can use Remote Desktop to access her
computer at work, however, most of the time she doesn't need to access
the files or programs at work, she just needs to print.

I've seen a few "community" printer drivers available that allow you to
make your printer available over the Internet, but I haven't tried any
of them. And she doesn't want anyone else to be able to access the
printer, just her.

Can someone point me to a product (commercial is fine) that will allow
me to set up a connection from her computer to a printer at her office
over the Internet?

Just set the sharing security so only she can print to it.
 
The security settings inherent to Windows 2000 and XP when you set up the
share.

I need something that works with Windows 98. Also, I don't want to open
up those ports on the firewall. It's a huge security risk.
