I solved a sililar problem a while ago... here's how I finally solved
it.  

1)  Install AppleTalk on BOTH servers.
2)  On the old server, edit the ATPS.CFG so you broadcast the printer
    you want to "share" as an Appletlk printer
3)  On the new server, edit the ATPS.CFG file so it intercepts the     
    newly created AppleTalk printer, and advertises it as a regular
    NetWare printer

and, voila!  Users on both servers can print to all "shared" printers. 
I tried to include examples of what to put in the ATPS.CFG files, but I
can't remember exactly I put...  If you need more specific help, email
me and I'll send you a copy of what I've got.
