[cups] Windows printing from CUPS on Mac

We are trying to use our Mac Server running CUPS to not only serve our Mac’s but also our Windows clients for printing.  It would just make things so much easier for us not having to have two print servers if we don’t need to.

So my questions are:

1.  Can windows clients print to CUPS on a Mac?
2.  Can Windows clients just see the printer automatically in their Windows Print Browser, or do they need to know a path to the server to be seen?
3.  Can CUPS deliver Windows Printer Drivers if the client computer doesn’t have the driver?  (Just like Windows server does this basically to windows clients)
4.  If any of this is possible, are there any instructions on how to do any of this or set this up?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide,

Brian
