I have to do this all the time (I hate MATLAB's license server btw).

You might not believe this... but our Solaris machines don't have SSH
running and xhost has been disabled... however, I've still used:
lyx --export ps somefile.lyx ; lpr somefile.ps
on occassion, especially when the color printer only works from a
specific Solaris machine.
I think my point is that you can't really assume that you'll need a
"graphical" connection... maybe you need to save bandwidth (modem)?

I think it'd be great if two persons could work on the same document...
