Windows can now directly access IPP printers, which is how cups shares
printers. 

Just modify your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. There's a "<Location />" block in
there that you can modify. You'll need to add an extra "Allow From" line
with your network address. Mine looks like this:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*
Allow From 192.168.2.*
</Location>

Then on the windows machine, just add a network printer, and have it
connect to an IPP printer. The url should be something like
http://192.168.1.2:631/printers/HL-1440
(192.168.1.2 is my print server's IP address, and HL-1440 is the name of
the printer in cups).
