Not exactly what you are trying to do - but I briefly tried using
LPRng's 'lpr' to print directly via the remote lpd - and it works.

lpr -Pprinter at remotemachine ~/.bashrc

I prefer LPRng as:
- I don't need to configure local cupsd/lpd
- I can tunnel print commands easily through ssh/portforwarding.
