10.4: Remote printing via SSH using PDF Services
This is a pretty cool hint, from a technical standpoint, and I'll keep it handy should the occasion to use it arise.
10.4: Remote printing via SSH using PDF Services
While you can email a document to someone else to print, you can transfer the document to the home network via scp or some other means, or you could just hold the document to print when you get back to the home/office, these options require intervention from other users or just plain remembering to print the document next time you get on the local network. If the goal is to print a document to a printer at a remote location, this option avoids bothering someone else, filling up an email box with a large file, etc.

I also agree that this is a neat hint. I also want to point out that if your printer is a network printer with an ip address, print jobs held in queue will stay there and automatically print the next time you're attached to the network with no user intervention. I do this all the time. I'll "print" to my office printer when I'm at home, and when I come in to the office and connect to the network that the printer's on, everything in the queue starts printing out.

This is a great hint for sending faxes by using the phone line back home! I've been doing something similar for a while by calling it from the command line.
