I have an old DOS program running under dosemu. Everything works ok
except for printing. I was wondering how I can redirect the printer
output via SSH (but not using port forwarding) It seems to be possible
on the client side but I can't figure out how to redirect the printer
on the server side.

According to the SSH client's docs:

"A lot of VT100-compatible terminals support printing under control of
the remote server. PuTTY supports this feature as well, but it is
turned off by default.

To enable remote-controlled printing, choose a printer from the
"Printer to send ANSI printer output to" drop-down list box. This
should allow you to select from all the printers you have installed
drivers for on your computer. Alternatively, you can type the network
name of a networked printer (for example, \\printserver\printer1) even
if you haven't already installed a driver for it on your own machine.

When the remote server attempts to print some data, PuTTY will send
that data to the printer raw - without translating it, attempting to
format it, or doing anything else to it. It is up to you to ensure
your remote server knows what type of printer it is talking to."

And that is exactly what I need to do... redirect LPT1 in dosbox to
the SSH client's printer.
