Topic: Software for remote printing

Thought I saw it here but can't find it again.
Does anybody know of a software (web version) where I can control my printer from the web to start/stop prints and monitor it from somewhere else like at work. Would like to have the abiltity to have the everything ready to go, then enable and print as well as monitor the printer from work so that it will be done when I get home. Dont realy want to leave it alone without being able to shut it down remotly if need be. Maybe even use a web IP camera to watch it as well.
Thanks for any help.

Logmein.com The free version works great after the 30day free trial of the PRO version. And it is very secure.
Windows  has one bult in called Remote desktop Conecction, I use it at home within my firewall. Very clean interface.

I use log me in quite frequently for various things including "Server" monitoring and it works great, it's a bit laggy but hey it's free. I really want to look into being able to monitor my printer from work, but I'm scared that things will happen that I can't control, so I'll maybe test it by monitoring my prints from the living room or something.

Ive seen that one, but I swore I saw a compete web app made just for 3D printing remote control. Maybe it was on another site that I saw it. Thanks for the suggestions though.

How about just using remote desktop connection?  Of course that assumes you are using Windows.

Search the forum for Raspberry Pi.  Someone was using a Repetier Host web version on a Pi I think.  It's here somewhere.

Prontoface can be used with a webUI:

Repetier-Server has a simple webUI:

Repetier-Server can run from a raspberry pi:

TeamViewer is a great app to remote into computers to do printing stuff and its tablet/phone apps are free while logmein charges a pretty steep price.
