maybe a true printer isn't the best solution - a possible alternative would be to
create a "virtual" ps printer at the VNC side (is is common under linux, and can be
done comfortably under windows) and at the viewer side, use some of the functionality
of the GhostScript package to make a PDF flatfile from the data. That way, you don't
have to waste paper (or have a real printer of any type) at the client side, can email
the "printout" to other people, but can still choose to print whatever you actually
want on paper, when it is convenient to you, and using any printer you have to hand
(not having to specify at the time you create the print job on the remote server)
