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.

Regards,

Kaps
