this is what I use in an other context:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my($file)=$ARGV[0];
system("scp $file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:");
system("ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] lpr $file");
sleep 100;
system("ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] rm -f $file");
exit;

To my overly limited understanding the problem lies mostly in the shear size and volume of printer filter(drivers) available. On a desktop cups is nothing compared to the libraries needed to talk to the printers themselves. I see that as the major problem. Maybe I'm wrong.

Damien,
If I'm understanding this correctly, you are saying (in perl) take this
file and move it to that host and print it using it's defaults. Or am I
wrong. (If I'm right, slick idea!)

Yes, that is correct, assuming also that key authentification is set up.
One should of course convert it into a shell script.

Yes, that is correct, assuming also that key authentification is set up.

That would be pretty amazing and if in OSX, I set up an automator
action to watch a particular folder and print new things... it would
totally work!
How would I make it a shell script? And how would you do it from
something like Opera for example? There is no file to move around...

No need since when you run this script it does the print command from the get
go and IIRC lpr works with OSX as well.

You don't do it from opera per se but you create the program and then (if this
was a desktop) you tell opera that the print command is this script. Hmmm

I believe the bash conversion would be.
#!/usr/bin/bash
file=$1
user=[put your user here]
host=[put fqdn or up of printer host here]
scp $file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] `lpr /tmp/$file`
sleep 100
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] `rm $file`
echo "complete"
Though I'm not in a place to verify it yet. (No printer here.)
