This is nothing to do with SSH, but never mind:

What you should do depends on your software. The way it works is that
when PuTTY sees a particular escape sequence, it starts directing all
received data to a printer instead of the screen (another sequence
turns this off).
There is a C program called 'lpansi' floating around which will do
this -- Google for it.

You need to arrange that the server sends printer data in the
appropriate format (PostScript, PCL, etc). The configuration in PuTTY
is simply to route the raw data to the right place.
