I am not sure if I got your request clear. If it is 'How to print from a remote server on to a printer on your local server' , then the answer is , Yes , setup printer on your local server and configure the same as a remote printer on the remote system. So you can issue an 'lp' command from the remote system to get it printed.

Kaps

pserver
PSERVER(1) pserver PSERVER(1)
NAME
pserver - NetWare print server
SYNOPSIS
pserver [ -S server ] [ -h ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -q queue name ] [ -c command ] [ -j job type ] [ -t timeout ] [
-d ]
DESCRIPTION
pserver is a program that connects to print queues on NetWare servers and feeds incoming print jobs to the Linux printing system.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the print server name at the server.
-P password
password is the password to use for the print server at the server. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection
to the server, pserver prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if the print server does not require a password.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-q queue name
queue name is the name of the print queue you want to service.
-c command
When a job is received from the print queue, pserver forks off a new process, and feeds the job file to stdin. command is the printing
command that is executed for each job. The default command is 'lpr'.
You can insert several flags into the command, preceded by %. These are replaced with values retrieved from the queue structure for the
print job.
%u: This field will be replaced by the name of the user who posted this print job.
%d: This field will be replaced by the job description field of this print job.
-j job type
Each job in a NetWare print queue has a job type. For print jobs, this corresponds to the number of the form the job should be printed
on. You can tell pserver that it should only receive jobs for one specific form from the queue. The default is -1, which means that
everything is received.
-t timeout
Pserver is not informed by NetWare servers when new jobs arrive. So a polling scheme has to be used. When there are no jobs to service,
timeout tells pserver how long to wait between two requests. The default is 30 seconds. When a job is finished, pserver asks the NetWare
server immediately for a new job, and does not wait timeout seconds.
-d
Normally, pserver daemonizes itself. -d tells it not to do so. This is useful if you want to see the diagnostic messages that are
printed when a error occurs.
