Sure,<br>
You can use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).<br>
For the Windows machines, you can read the document which is available<br>
here: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/internetprint.mspx" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/internetprint.mspx</a><br>
<br>
it requires you install IIS on the printer server ... (and my printer server is linux ...)<br>

No, you install CUPS, make sure it is listening on port 631 and then<br>
try (I'm not on a widows computer to make sure)<br>
<br>
ipp://<computername>:631/printers/<printername><br>

You could also after you install cups, install samba and access it as if it were a<br>
windows printer.<br>
<br>
If you want to prevent shell access, you create a userid for the printer, and set the password<br>
to some long unguessable password. Then you set a resonable password in smbpasswd.<br>
<br>
Samba is not the difficult to install or use, and you can set it up NOT to do file sharing.<br>
