The Linux dudes can print directly from their own laptops, is it possible to do the same from Windows?

You need to add the printer using the network printing wizard, using the printer url from http://print.diku.dk:631/printers/. e.g. add http://print.diku.dk:631/printers/m1b or http://print.diku.dk:631/printers/n2d.

Adding the printer might require you to install the required drivers from HP if they are not available in the list. These printer drivers are generally available by searching for the printer name. E.g., the printer M1B is an HP LaserJet 9040, and searching Google for HP LaserJet 9040 driver windows 7 gives HP's Driver Download site.

Depending on the printer and the installed driver, all the scaling and duplex (printing on both sides) options should be available from the printing dialog.
