Is anyone using CUPS/Kerberos from Windows client

With successful Kerberos (AuthType Negotiate) (IPP) printing from CUPS clients on Linux to a CUPS 1.3.6 server (once a few little bugs have been worked around), I would like to ask about the possibility of Kerberos-authenticated IPP printing from Windows clients.

Is anyone trying this? Is it even possible and, if so, what are the prerequisites - for instance, is this possible with Windows XP or does one  need (the presumably further-developed) Windows Vista? I'm not a Windows specialist, yet I see that it would be pleasant to have the Windows clients printing directly to the same CUPS server as is being successfully used by the Linux clients here with Kerberised IPP.
