In a nutshell you need to configure the Pi to share the printer. You can do that using IPP or samba. samba is basically windows networking (SMB/CIFS) and IPP is the Internet Printer Protocol.
I have a cups server on PI raspbian at home (linux and Windows7 clients connected).
I followed such links in order to install: https://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting
Good luck.
