Using a "remote" LaserWriter

At work we have a LaserWriter Plus connected to a Unix host (a TRACE 7/200).
The printer is connected via a normal RS-232-style line and is driven by
standard Unix printer software (lpr, enscript, etc.)

I would dearly like to occasionally use this printer in conjunction with my
Mac.  Is there anything that can capture what the Mac would send to a
LaserWriter and allow me to spool it at the Unix end?
