A very cheap way for monitoring your printer from everywhere

Use your old phone as a IP WEBCAM.

Do not expend more money on a IP webcam. Your phone do the same. This is my printer.

The support for the mobile phone is here:

There some free software for converting your phone in a Webcam. I am using this one:

You need to configure your router to see the video from outside your network. You have to forward the port that the phone is employing.
