deploying ipp drivers without samba?

Is it possible to have windows point-and-print over IPP without using samba? On a standalone HP laserjet (say 4250N), if you point windows at its IPP uri, it appears to autoinstall the correct drivers; and the laserjet is not running samba. Is there a way to get this behavior in cups without the use of samba? Maybe copy over some PPD files? Particularly because Win7 appears to have dropped the generic PS driver, which we are using for cups backend (since all of our stuff talks generic PS fine).

If not, we will probably just repack the cups driver into NSIS and make people install that via the web...
