No. ;)

I was under the impression that the CUPS server serves up a connection out of
the box cross platform. Am I wrong?
 

I _think_ it can do so, I'm not sure. I have mine set up using samba.

Anyway, if you want to connect from Windows without samba, you'll have 
to take an unintuitive step: when adding the printer in Windows, *don't* 
specify 'network printer'. Specify 'local printer' instead, and when you 
have to choose a port add a new port, type TCP/IP I think, and enter the 
address of the computer with the printer.
At least, I've seen it work for a networkerd printer, though I don't 
what protocol it used.
