It turns out that all I had to do was restart CUPS by running:
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Then the margin error stopped occurring and I can continue to use IPP to
share the printer.

If you have shared your printer on your linux box, you will see that
printer icon. Double click on that
and Windows will prompt you to install the driver for the device. Since
you have already installed the
driver, it should appear in the Windows' list - select HP for manufacturer
and the model from the model box
and finish up with the add printer wizard. You should be good to go.

The problem is that I don't think the Windows driver for the printer from
HP works for printing over a network. I just installs a lot of image editing
software.
In fact, the only way to install the Windows driver is by manually
connecting the printer to it; otherwise, the driver installation will not
continue. Part way through the installation, it asks me to connect the
printer to the computer, but it doesn't give me the option of specifying
that the printer is on the network.
