Any options rely on how or if you can connect to your office. here are a few typical:
The best option is if you are able to remotely connect to you work say through VPN or through dialing in. IF you have a connection this way you should be able to get to your printer just like you were there. If the printer is on the network you should be able to map to it through your remote connection.
Other possibilities:
If Printer has public IP address(though not likley in most cases) in theory you should be able to map to it across internet. However if there is a company firewall this will likley not work in this fashion. If it has private IP(which is most likely) such as 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, or 10.x.x.x it also will not be reachable through internet.
Next possibility is to use something like PCAnywhere or VNC(which is free). If you have a separate PC that you're using out of office than what you use in the office you can use one of these type programs to connect to your office PC. It would be like you are sitting at your office PC and can connect to printer from there.
This is just a basic idea of options. It is also dependant on your office using IP addressing which most all (especially medium or bigger)companies do. The first option wont matter so much about type of addressing if you are able to connect through some kind of VPN or dial up. These options are also pending what kind of security and firewalls are in place. It is possible that you will need to get with your IT/admin support to accomplish some of this. As I said this is just a common idea of solutions.
Hope this Helps or at least gets you in a right direction.
