Remote access

Remotely accessing your printer is a boon when you want to monitor your printer and can't gaze at it 24/7... There are options!

TIP

These are only recommendations, not a definitive guide!

Things you'll probably need:

• Raspberry Pi 3/4 or alternative if you don't have 1 already
• WebCam, if you don't have 1 already

DANGER

There is one thing you should absolutely avoid in all cases: don't setup direct internet access to your printer interface!
