The approach I suggested will work then. You need to create a rule on your firewall to forward all port 9100 traffic to the printer's IP. Once that is in place, anyone can print to your printer by setting up an IP printing port pointing to your public IP. You should probably restrict the IP range for the port forward rule so that everyone in the world does not have access to your printer but that's your call.

The printer is behind a firewall. All addresses on the network are 192.168.103.* and there is one public address. There is a windows 2003 small business server on the network as the domain controller.
Thanks Rick

Need more info; what is the network setup like? If the printer is behind a NAT device, you should be able to forward port 9100 to the printer and have the other party setup a IP printing port using your WAN IP.

Good afternoon listers,
I have an hp 4014 printer connected on a lan.
What I want to do is enable printing to this printer over the internet. We have someone in a different office who needs to print to that printer.
Thanks for any advice.
Rick
