Well, the reason i'm asking this because I got it to work in Windows 2003 Server where all my printers can "put" on the web (http://www.mywebsite.com/printers) so people who access http://www.mywebsite.com/printers can see all my printers, then they can connect and print to it. Of course I'll require username & password before they can access printer resources.
I hope this clear up my goal a little bit.
Many thanks for your help, JC

I didn't look at HP doc, but doesn't help. What I want to do is to setup my printer so that people on the internet (i know this sounds odd, but i hope there is method that limits certain people to connect to it) can connect & print to this printer via http.
You can certainly have a cgi script that send a file to the printer. And you can use various apache methods to restrict access to that script, the question is what are you going to have them printing? Is it a web page?
so you could probably just pipe stuff to 192.168.1.100:9100
... is what the script could do, but if you want html to be rendered for printing out it gets trickier.
