This a Windows-omly printer. You can only connect the printer
to your windows box via smbclient or LPD and use the Windows
driver.

Here is one solution:
Install a LPD server on Windows

You need also Ghostscript and GSView for Windows from

work on Linux

You could connect it to CUPS as a raw printer without drivers.
So Windows users can use the printer but Linux users.

Windows printer drivers format their output for the printer before sending
it across the network. You must configure CUPS to accept the pre-formatted
output by uncommenting the following line from /etc/cups/mime.convs:

application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -

Also uncomment the following line from /etc/cups/mime.types:

application/octet-stream

There is now driver for this model which runs under Linux, but if you
want to print only from Windows clients you can set up a raw queue on
your Linux/Samba server and let the clients render the jobs with the
original Windows driver.

How to set up a Point-&-Print print server with Samba is described on
