I've done this with great success. On my Linux box, for example, I have a printer called "Engineering", and I use the following URI in my WinXP box (running inside a VM): http://10.8.50.71:631/printers/Engineering Notice how it's a clever combination of the two URI's you mentioned above. I don't remember where I saw this, but it was on some CUPS page I found via google in the past... Perhaps here[1]... It should connect and let you pick the driver. I personally found it useful to choose Generic / MS Publisher Imagesetter. If you actually want to use the real HP client-side driver, the same article[1] mentions how to enable raw printing on the cups server, but I've never done that.
