We have computers in multiple cities that would like to print to these printers using the web interface described. please help!

What you will use is called IPP : Internet Printing Protocol.
How to Use IPP :

Basically when you install windows server 2k or 2k3, Internet Printing is setup as part of IIS and configured from the IIS Console. Then you create holes in your firewall / NAT rules to allow printing to happen over port 80/631. Anyway, its basically a bad idea as people can/will find your printers and mess with them. But let me know if you need more detail on setting it up.
