Okay completely ignore samba till you have a working Windows client.

You only need this to advertise the printer to Windows client, which has 
it's own issues.

The whole point of IPP is to get away from rubbish like Microsoft 
networking ;)

Looks unduely complex.

This post looks pretty much like what I did last time....

I think lose the BrowseAddress lines, and make sure you BrowseAllow your 
network (or ALL) for starters.

Although I don't have a CUPS server around at the moment to check it on.

Then tell us what happens when you try and add a printer to Windows, and 
if the windows box can surf to http://server:631/
