Unix: print on printer on another machine (host)

Hi all,sorry for my english but i don't speak it very well.

I have a problem, i need to print a file from a unix machine to a printer on another unix machine (with another host).

I think that it's possible making a connection with telnet to this machine and after to print on the machine in wich i'm connected.

But i need to know if is possible to made this print (on another host machine) with only a command....maybe like the lpr command with an option for the host and the printer name.
I see that for the lpr there is only the parameter -P for the name on the printer...is there a command (or a parameter for lpr,lp.....) to print on a printer on a different machine with a different host???

Thanks so much for help.
Bye
