We use ice.lp from James River.  It uses tcp port 2346 which you can
redirect to localhost on a client using ssh.  Your client with dynamic IP
polls print jobs from the server by querying 127.0.0.1/2346.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them.

I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
