I have had no problems remote-printing from another machine (HP
9000/345) to my NeXT, so I don't see why it should not be possible
between two NeXT-en (is that the correct plural;)?), using the uslual
printcap entry, like:
phps|Physics Apple Laserwriter :\
        :lp=:rm=hydra.acs.uci.edu:rp=gadget:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/phps:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:
(replace the rm and rp with the correct names on your system), and
enter the "other" system in each /etc/host.lpd file. 
Oh yes, don't forget to niload the modified printcap back into netinfo
memory. 
[I usually nidump critical files like princap, passwd, fstab, each
night, so I have up-to-date copies to work with as backups, in case
netinfo gets corrupted.]
