You shouldn't need any additional software.  Shared printing in LINUX
should 'just work' assuming you have the firewall set correctly - every
printer on the network 'just appears' for me.  In Windows add a "Local
Printer" (yea, that is intuitive!) set to the print server to print via
IPP.  Every LINUX box is pretty much a printer server by default.
