If you have SSH set up correctly to forward your X session, the command 
is /usr/bin/system-config-users.  This will forward the gui to the X 
server that you are sshing from.

To find the command of any gui tool, left click on the icon an choose 
properties.  That gives you the command line syntax.

For printing it's - /usr/bin/printconf-gui
