Only "get a list of printers" is not sufficient.

Note that normally printing under Windows is done different
than under Unix/Linux.
See for example the "two longer explanations" in
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Nov/1186.html

I.e. the CUPS client for Windows must also convert the usual
Windows document types (e.g. "doc") to something which can be
processed by the CUPS filtering system (i.e. to PostScript).

Kind Regards,
