Sharing CUPS printer for Windows machines

$

It's 2 am and for some reason I'm thinking about this rather than sleeping...

But anyway. Recently I setup CUPS on my ClearOS(based on CentOS) server and I have connected and setup 2 of the office network printers with it: Dell 2150cn and a Brother MFC-J4610DW.

I can send test pages from the CUPS admin panel fine with the Brother printer, however the Dell fails to load print driver. Let's not worry about the Dell though.

Basically I just need some help with being able to print from a Windows 7 PC via. the shared server printer (the Brother printer). It shows up in the windows network fine and is recognised as a printer.

Only problem is that printing doesn't work... Printing a document will do literally nothing. No error messages from what I can see at all. I'm guessing some sort of driver is needed in relation to PostScript?

Am a complete newbie with printing on Linux. Any help is appreciated.
