Surely if the client has connected to the server with SSH, the server
already knows the client's IP.

We have a number of laptops set up with a dos batch script that calls
plink (from the makers of putty). It instigates a connection to my
computer and opens up a connection from here back to their port 3389 so
I can then log onto their laptop via rdesktop for troubleshooting. 

All the users need to know is the password for the SSH key installed on
their laptop.

As for sending a print job, how much bandwidth will you have available?
Printjobs tend to be quite bandwidth intensive.
