Not specific to FreeBSD, but maybe this help you:

Printing To Windows PCs
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/printing_to_windows.html

Also read chapter 5.1 of this material.

Obtained by a google search. :-) I can't give better
advice as I'm not a "Windows" person, and I avoid
using CUPS whenever possible (usually by using a
network printer that doesn't need all this stuff),
and due to lack of experience with MICROS~1 stuff
I can't be fully sure that this is what you're
searching for.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that this
seems to be a command line approach - so in relation
of CUPS configuration mainly done through a web
interface today, maybe you could also ask this
question in a CUPS web forum?
