Printing without using CUPS and while using hplip

I have a LaserJet 200 series HP printer. I print through cups and hplip now, but I noticed my printer has an embedded webserver. It got me thinking... Is there a way to disable the cups daemon, and add the printer directly through the wireless network (or USB) and print that way?
 
About the only thing I've printed in a couple of years are pdfs. I do it by converting it to a ps file with pdftops than print through netcat.
If my printer has internal IP 192.168.1.50
Code: 
ps2pdf myfile.pdf myfile.ps
nc 192.168.1.50 9100 <myfile.ps
9100 is the standard jetdirect port which is probably listening on your printer.
