It IS possible over the internet.  I have two severs connected by
the internet and can print from my Windows98 box on my LAN
behind my firewall or from the server which runs CUPS
to a printer on the other server running CUPS (printer is
attached to a Windows98 box).  Really, neat stuff!

If anyone wants to know how to make this magic, contact me.

Hope this helps,
