I've got and "hp color LaserJet 4600v3010.107"
and I used: 

  Device URI: socket://permacolor:9100/

This data is cut'n'paste from my CUPS server, and this printer has 
been working fine.

With Windows however, I couldn't get the samba stuff working 
properly, so, on the clients, I create a network printer with a URL 
of:  

  https://print-server/printers/<printername>

Note, we're using https, if you're not, then this would be http.

HTH,
