My question is how to enable the printer so that user can connect & print via http like http://192.168.1.100/printer
I don't know if this is possible, but i'm sure somebody out there can shine some light on this for me.
I think CUPS can do what you are looking for. I have not set it up, but CUPS uses the Interner Printing Protocol. So you should be able to add a network printer by pointing to:

You'll want to do some more searching around for more specific details (as this email is light on details), but I think that will get you headed the right direction to accomplish what you want.
This page seems to cover what the OP wants... http://www.owlfish.com/thoughts/winipp-cups-2003-07-20.html
