This may be of little interest to anyone but that has never stopped me in
the past.
I recently configured cups to share my usb connected Brother HL-2030 (no
ethernet port) with my spouse's (funny word, that--mon épouse) windows
laptop via IPP. No samba, simple as pie.
Local lan sharing.

Actually I'm ashamed to say configured because all I did was check
"Share printers connected to this system" in the Cups adminstration web
interface tab and add a printer to the windows (10) machine (shared
printer by name) whose location is:
http://192.168.0.26:631/printers/HL-2030-series
Yes, I always have the same internal lan ip address.
