Actually of course you CAN print on the client from the server..if the
client is running a wide area line print protocol daemon, as a server,
there is no firewall or NAT in the way, and..you have a fast enough
internet connection.
I did in fact try this as a test once. It does in fact work, but of
course its hopelessly impractical with most clients behind NAT firewalls
on dynamic addresses running broken operating systems like Windows.. and
total idiots behind the keyboard.
