HP has been doing this for years. A GET on a URI that identifies the printer returns a representation of the state of the printer, showing you the queued jobs, any alert, etc.. PUT for the printer itself probably doesn't make any sense. But POSTing a document to it would be a simple way to get it to print that document. You might use PUT if you wanted to replace a document in the queue with another one. Or you could just DELETE the old one, and POST a new one, but then you lose your priority in the queue.
