Thanks to all who responded. I found the following solution.
Say box1 has the printer and one wants to print from box2.
Note, they don't have to be on the same subnet.
Assume the printer on box1 is lp
Assume the /etc/hosts entries are the following on both machines
/etc/hosts
192.42.100.1 box1.domain.name box1
199.10.100.2 box2.domain.name box2
1. /etc/printcap on box2 (for remote printing on lp-rm)
lp-rm:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:rm=box1.domain.name:\
:rp=lp:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
Note: The following *did not* work
lp-rm:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:rm=box1:\
:rp=lp:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
2. /etc/hosts.lpd on box1
Should contain the line
box2.domain.name
