Let me make sure I have this straight...

You have a printer attached to your PC. You connect to the Unix server via telnet/SSH or some other emulation. You want it to print to your printer?

If the above is correct, you cannot just makedev on the Unix server. You'd need to set your workstation up as a print server, then configure the Unix box to forward print requests...
