They have decided on using SSH for the connection bit and would like to utilize port forwarding for sending print to the local printers in the field. My thought is that in order for the server to send print over ssh to the remote client, it would require remote port forwarding as apposed to local port forwarding. My second thought is would it work and if not is there an alternative direction someone could point me to?

Is this what you mean?  On local client run (this example is for pop3):

ssh -L 110:remote.host.org:110 remote.host.org

Then any attempts to access port 110 on the local client will become 
attempts to access port 110 on the remote host.  And it all goes through 
ssh, so no-one can listen in.
