CUPS does a pretty good job of making management less than nightmarish. You do need to make sure the CUPS server is able to receive the various printer "broadcasts" from Windows and other operating systems. The one caveat I would warn about is that printing turns out to be fairly CPU intensive. The print server does a lot of processing to render the output for the various printers.
