There is a remote interface included with 3B1's that shows how it can be done.
The concept is simple.  Just make an interface that redirects the output to
a  file and then uucp the file to the destination.  Then, do a uux on the
remote machine (the calling machine will have to have permission to run
lp remotely which is setup in /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions) to lp the file that
was uucp'd.
