According to the openprinting database it should work perfectly;
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=3DLexmark-E120

One of the things that CUPS can do is transform different kinds of of
files to something that the printer can digest.

What I think you should do is create a "raw" printer that doesn't use
any of those filters. Print to that printer from your windows box.

Or you could use a generic postscript printer driver on your windows
box, and CUPS will convert it to the correct format.
