You can use lpr(1) to send a print request to lpd(8) on the machine
hooked to the printer.  <lots of details left out here>

NFS is not the only method for file sharing.  You can also use SMB (not
recommended unless you have Windows machines), AFS, Arla, or Coda.  See
http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/ or http://www.stacken.kth.se/projekt/arla/.
