I'm probably barking up the wrong tree. I have a printer set up on an Ubuntu machine, using cups. I have tried to share it on the network.

My windows machine can find it, but windows complains that there are no drivers available for it. As the printer is 15+ years old, there are no windows 10 drivers. Is there a way to enable "emulation" of a different printer instead, and let cups somehow translate the commands?

I currently have a network shared folder that is scanned for pdf's, and will print any new file put there. Often means there's an extra step needed to print, but it works.

You can do what you’re doing more automated- I did it years ago. You setup a virtual printer that is something like basic postscript and then have it run Ghostscript to modify it for your actual printer. There should be information on how to setup cups this way.
