Sure,
You can use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
For the Windows machines, you can read the document which is available
here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/internetprint.mspx
it requires you install IIS on the printer server ... (and my printer
server is linux ...)
No, you install CUPS, make sure it is listening on port 631 and then
try (I'm not on a widows computer to make sure)
ipp://<computername>:631/printers/<printername>
In some instances, I had to specify the http protocol instead of ipp. E.g:
http://<computername>:631/printers<printername>
You could also after you install cups, install samba and access it as
if it were a
windows printer.
If you want to prevent shell access, you create a userid for the
printer, and set the password
to some long unguessable password. Then you set a resonable password
in smbpasswd.
Samba is not the difficult to install or use, and you can set it up
NOT to do file sharing.
