I don't believe that configuration is supported by Apple or HP; more  
than likely you'll need to find out the IP address of the print server  
and which protocols are supported so that you can add it as an "IP  
Printer" in the Add Printer GUI.

This is a front-page FAQ.  You use your short username (usually  
"firstlastname") and password for your Mac, not the cups.org login  
(which is only for the cups.org site...)
