Sounds like you want is lpd for the Mac. That would allow Unix Systems
to access Mac printers.  We're doing *that* with Caymen Systems
Gator box but it's terribly unreliable (at no fault of the Caymen Box)
so we'd like to do the opposite - attach the printers to the Unix
machines (or the Ethernet directly) and print from the Macs to Unix.
I haven't had any luck finding that package either.  If your network
isn't terribly flooded (yeah, right) you might just contact Caymen
and go that route.  Our problem is that we're using the Caymen Box at
about 8 times its design specification.  To Caymen's credit, it doesn't
flake out all that often - it's just that when it does it's tedious as
hell to restore the print net.
