Ok, I will impart some wisdom that I dug out of google :)
Here's the short form.. I think I used :
"http://cupssrv:631/printers/printer";
Now you can set up the new network printer. In the Control Panel select
"Add Printer", "Network Printer", and then "Connect to printer on the
Internet or your intranet". The URL I use is:
http://rock:631/classes/Home
Replace 'rock' with the hostname of your Linux server, and replace
'Home' with the name of the class that you defined earlier.

PERFECTO! TYVM.
a few extra things....this is in Gentoo...
modify /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs. In both, uncomment
the application/octet-streams lines towards the bottom. Install the
printer as described above with the native Windows drivers. Beauty,
you're a genius :D
Is there any way to set it up to use the linux driver?
the above URL from owlfish describes how to use the postscript driver with the
cups PPD file, but for me uncommenting 2 lines in config files was easier
than setting up a raw queue in the pintcap. FYI if it wasn't clear I
installed the Windows drivers in windows, not linux. The only difference
really is the page is formatted by the Windows driver before it's sent to
CUPS rather than sending raw postscript data and being formatted afterwards.
The end result is the same.

Well, when I try to use the windows drivers, it can't even attempt to
print a test page. It says "Failed" instead of "Did it fail?".
