Yes.

You would need to have a static Broadband WAN IP, a Print Server such as the HP JetDirect
and a Router. On the Router you would have to Port-Forward TCP port 9100 to the LAN address
of the Print Server. When you are remote, you would print to the WAN IP address that is
used by the Router.
 
Windows remote desktop for XP has PRINTER support too. If you configure the
connection (via local resources i think) you should be able to see the
printer.

If not you can share the printer and use the following in a command prompt:

net use lpt1: \\pcname\printsharename

you can then print to lpt.

hope this helps

TCP port 9100 for just printing is magnitudes safer than using MS Networking constructs over
the Internet.
