Printing over internet with a mac

Archived from groups: alt.comp.networking.connectivity (More info?)

questions
Is there a specfic tcp port that the mac's use for sending the print job?
Like lpd over port 515? Is that port blocked on a firewall at either end?
have you done a network capture to see what's really going on?
