Yes. This is possible at least with Win2000 and probably other  
versions.

Just install a network printer, choose (I've only seen the french version)
"Internet type printer", then type the following url :

    http://yourcupsserver.example.com:631/printers/yourprintqueuename
    
works fine    

hoping this helps
