That'll only really work if you set up the Amiga with a driver compatible with the printer connected on the other machine. I'd imagine if he had a printer which he had a Workbench driver for he'd just plug the printer in and print. I'd say your best bet would be just to save the files and convert them as you need to print them natively on another machine...

That'd bethe simplest I reckon alright, but we don't know what types of files they are... Plain text should be fine, word processor documents should be saved as RTF to preserve some of the formatting, and pictures should be fine as JPEG, GIF, PNG or whatever, so long as they're not an Amiga-specific format. Trying to print to files might also create huge print spool files - too big to be transferred by floppy - so transferring the original might be a better solution all round.
