Perhaps you could configure the print output on the server to "print to
file" (I assume this is an option under Unix, too), and have a process
watching the directory such output was printed too. The process, on seeing
a new file, would then transfer the data via the VNC connection and have it
printed at the other end.
Just a thought. Cheers,
