I need to print to a printer connected to the local network with a computer connected to the same network that uses OpenVPN to connect to an external domain.
When the computer connects with OpenVPN, I can't print to the printer connected to the local network.
What can I do?

Hi Juan, can you connect via USB?
The easiest way to do it would be to use a physical USB connection to the printer.
Otherwise, if the remote network and the local network don't overlap then you should be able to add a route to the local network so CUPs can send it's traffic to the printer.
Unfortunately I don't recall the way to add OpenVPN routes OTTOMH but none of this will be TurnKey specific. Any instructions for Debian/Ubuntu should be relelvant - and likely any Linux distro.
If you get stuck post back and I'll try to help as best I can - although please note that I'm pretty snowed under at the moment.
If you do work it out, it'd be great if you could share here so others could benefit.
