In Windows 7, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers. Click 'Add a printer'. Select 'The printer that I want is not listed'. Choose 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings'. Select 'Create a new port'. Choose 'Standard TCP/IP Port' and click 'Next'. Enter the IP address of your Windows 10 printer and click 'Next'. Select the 'LPD' or 'Internet Printing Protocol' driver (the CUPS driver you installed) and click 'Next'. Give the printer a name and click 'Finish'.
