A local computer is the machine you are currently logged into, a remote computer is a computer you are accessing from your local computer.
So, if I connect to my home computer from work, my home computer is the remote computer, and my work computer is the local.
Conversely, if I connect to my work computer from home, my work computer is the remote computer, and my home computer is the local.

In the terminology of network printing management, the definition of a local or remote printer is given concerning the node on which the print server program is running (a server with the PSERVER.NLM module loaded or a station with PSERVER.EXE). The local printer is connected to the ports (LPT or COM) of this node, and the print server directly controls its connection port. The remote printer connects to the ports of another host (server or station), and the print server communicates with it through its agent on that host — the RPRINTER module in NetWare 3.x and younger or NPRINTER in NetWare 4.x. The operation of both the local and the remote printer is controlled through the PSC, PCONSOLE, or NWADMIN utilities serving their print server.
