FWIW I also had problem with IPP so I used samba.  I've got Samba
installed on the File/Print server and smbclient on the client PC's.

Select Add Printer

Insert Printer_name (forget Location and Description - optional)

Device: Windows printer via Samba

Device URL: smb://Domain_name/Server_name/Printer_Name

I've set up a few clients this way and it is much more reliable than
using the KDE print setup for example. It should also work for windows
printers.

I know IPP should work but I didn't persevere ;)
