cups can work for all clients, but your Windows clients might prefer to
print over samba, because the samba server can be configured to serve
out the printer drivers too, just like a Windows print server would,
saving the clients having to select the right driver and install it.

Can't really help with this one, except to mention that you can have a
share name ending with "$", in which you'll only be able to connect to
that share if you know it exists - it won't show up in a browse list.
Not really what you're looking for, but it might be an alternative.
