Phones can support CUPS printing protocol. So if you configure CUPS as a printer server (some printer support this as IPP (internet printing protocol) through TCP port 636. (sometimes you can point a browser there for configuring  it, at least for CUPS this is possible).

Automatic selecting a nearest printer can be an issue though.  There is no location information in most protocols.
Besides that you need some way to locate the waiters if you want a solution. That location system needs to be rather precise.
(meter precision).
