HA!!! I just set up windows to print to cups direct (no samba) and may
be able to offer some insights.

to allow connection to the printer from your 192.168.0.0 network edit
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf to include the following:

<Location /printers>
#
# You may wish to limit access to printers and classes, either with Allow
# and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.

Order Deny,Allow
Allow 192.168.0.*

#
</Location>


If you just want to allow access to one particular printer you can make
it:

<Location /printers/printername>

Order Deny,Allow
Allow 192.168.0.*

</Location>

Setting it up from another linux machine I am unsure on, but the url to
print to is:

http://printerserver:631/printers/printername
