Contrary to its name, but explained in its doc string, lpr-command is
not a shell command but an executable program (run by
call-process-region). So your best bet is to put that pipe line into a
shell script, and point lpr-command to the script.
And setting printer-name just causes (concat lpr-printer-switch
printer-name) to be appended to the arguments passed to lpr-command, so
you should just include that in the script.
Finally "cat - | ssh ..." is equivalent to "ssh ...".

I would have thought that adding these lines
'(lpr-command "cat - | ssh jcorneli@fakehost.edu lpr")
'(printer-name "fakeprinter")
to my custom set variables might enable me to print emacs buffers on
my remote printer using ps-print-buffer. But I seem to have guessed
wrong. Does anyone know the correct way to set this up?
