Mind you, this will require manually taking care of the printer

It depends. The standard cups installation expects you to use a
postscript printer driver.
If you want to install a Windows printer driver, to take advantage of
the unique features
of your printer, you need to enable RAW printing in cups.
For example, my printer, a Samsung ML-1610 has a toner saving option.
You can set it
on or off using the button on the printer, you can set it on or off
using the CUPS printer
configuration menu, but if you want to print from Windows AND turn it
on or off using the
Windows printing dialog, you have to install the Windows print driver
and turn on RAW
printing.
