This is often a driver issue. 

You don't say which queue you are directing your windows jobs to. It needs
to be a raw queue, no filter, if you are filtering the job on the windows
client with the Epson supplied drivers.

If you are getting good results printing from linux, that means that the
queue you are using handles postscript files well.

SO, I would direct my windows jobs to the same queue as you direct your
linux jobs, and use the HP laserjet III + as the driver on the windows
client.
