ISTR a while back a suggestion of generating postscript at the Linux end
of the network and catching that and formatting for the printer at the
Windows end. It addessed a different problem I think, but may
nevertheless sort your problem.

I cannot remember the exact details, but I think a search in the archive
of this list for Ubuntu Ghostscript and Windows might find it. (Probably
the Ubuntu is superfluous.) Maybe someone here with more experience can
give detail.

I hazard a guess this would trigger the windows driver for the printer
into processing the file like this:

        App prog | ghostscript | network transport | print prog with
        postscript input and windows (is it?) CGM output | printer
        driver | printer | paper with printing on it :-)
