A real simple hack that can be set up easily is to create a shellscript file
with the following commands:

cat $1 | rsh PRINTER_HOST lpr 

you need to have an account on the PRINTER_HOST machine and need to setup
a .rhosts file, but then you can print transparently.  It is very useful
when you are working on a remote system that is not particularly well
integrated with your own and want to be able to print locally.
