I took a look at the bug.  The biggest problem, it appears, is here:

D [27/Apr/2011:15:12:56 -0400] Returning HTTP Unauthorized for
Print-Job (http://10.99.99.126:631/printers/CUPS-Test) from 10.99.99.199

So you need to tell cupsd that the Windows system is authorized to 
print.  That's done in cupsd.conf; see the man page for the details.

Out of curiosity, it's been quite a while since I've had to mess with 
Windows, but the recommendation back then was to use Samba as a proxy 
between Windows and CUPS for printing.  Is there a reason why this 
doesn't work for you?  It might make life a bit easier.
