If still relevant, you can use CUPS print server without SAMBA and Windows clients still will be able to print.
In Windows, if you want to use printer you need drivers, so when you adding printer on Windows, you shall select driver that works with it and instead of port create IP port with IP address of your CUPS print server.
It worked for me when I shared printer between Solaris, Fedora and Windows.
