Now it will be asking the windows admins if they want to enable unix printing services on the windows print server

Subject: RE: iSeries printing through a windows print server
We used to do this all the time until the persistently unreliable Windows print service forced us to start printing directly to printers.
IIRC, for a remote OUTQ you'd put the host/IP of the server (RMTSYS or INTNETADR) and then the Windows share name (RMTPRTQ).

Subject: iSeries printing through a windows print server
We currently setup network attached printers for direct IP printing and then configure an OUTQ pointing to the IP address of the printer. That all works fine. We also run a windows print server that routes all PC print requests to the appropriate printer and it also runs software to track all printing. All of our iSeries printing bypasses that logging so we don’t have an easy way to know the volume of printing actually going to every printer.
Is it possible to direct our iSeries printing to the windows print server which would then pass it on to the appropriate printer?
If this was possible it seems like the IP address of the OUTQ would have to be the windows server but then the OUTQ definition would also need to be able to point to the appropriate windows printer queue to get to the correct printer.
