Adilson,
your approach should work fine, provided you create separate print
queues on both systems to handle the compression / decompression. Another
possible approach is to email the compressed data and have the receiving
system run a script that decompresses it and sends it to a print queue.
This kind of automation is easily handled throuh the /etc/mail/aliases
file. julius
