If you allow port 631 to be forwarded to your PC by your router, then I believe it is possible to install it as a remote printer via your IP address.

Isn't that also assuming though that it's a network printer with it's own IP?

No just the ip of machine which the printer is hooked up to (eg.. the printer server) will do. Im wondering if he will get any goatse printouts since that hist printer would be accessable from the net
