Solaris- print to a remote queue

Is it possible to send a print job to a print queue on a different machine?

on another note, I noticed that I placed this message in the wrong forum. Could a moderator please move it to the general unix for dummies forum? thanks.

The man page for lp shows:

-d destination Prints file on a specific destination. Des-
tination can be either a printer of a class
of printers, (see lpadmin(1M)). Specify des-
tination using atomic, POSIX-style
(server:destination), or Federated Naming
Service (FNS) (.../service/printer/...)
names. See printers.conf(4) for information
regarding the naming conventions for atomic
and FNS names, and standards(5) for informa-
tion regarding POSIX.

Note the "server:destination".

You could also set up a local print queue that points to another server if you did not want to specify server:destination every time.

Thank you for your response. I tested it out and it sent the job to the remote print queue. However, that remote print queue does not offer the same functionality as when I am actually loged on to the remote machine. For example, I got this message when sending to the remote print queue (i replaced the real server and destination names):
server:destination not configured to handle all lp options:
ignoring: -o t=Remote Test

Any suggestions?
