What you are doing now is to try to create a file named "lp0" in a directory "dev" in a directory "vassi...@192.168.1.10" in the current directory. A similar form (I mean, using file access) could work (I am not sure) by mounting the remote files - usually one mounts whole directories. Using either Samba or Nfs you should mount the /dev directory of the computer 192...10 into a local directory, say /mnt/10dev. Then you could try to use the file "/mnt/10dev/lp0". I've never seen this method in real world, but it could work.
Another way, more common, is to use the traditional print sharing mechanisms of unix, lp: on the .10 machine you set up a print server, and on the local machine you configure a network printer referring to the .10 machine. The same can be done with CUPS. However, in both ways, printing is done in a totally different manner, which can be a problem for you; both mechanisms work on "documents", not single lines of text: it is probably difficult to convince the print manager that you don't want a form feed at the end of the printing.
