      Why don't you use the classes for printing provided by Qt? The documentation about "Qt printing supports seems quite good":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtprintsupport-index.html.

          The first paragraph of the "Qt printing documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtprintsupport-index.html literally states that it supports remote printers. Maybe you should give it a second look.
