This MS KB article described printing via IPP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323428

Since MS uses IPP v1.0 instead of v1.1 it would only be possible to print from CUPS with an older IPP backend. And since MS uses non-standard authentication methods authentication is only ip address based possible.

An easier way is to use LPD. This procedure is described here:
