Take a look at this:

I got it up and running in about 30 minutes plus compile time. I can
print from Windows 98 (thanks to Samba), Windows 2000, MacOS 8, Solaris,
and IRIX. It's so easy you can probably do it in your sleep.
I'm using a PCL-based printer as well. Besides, the documentation is
fantastic. I'm sold on it--absolutely the easiest hetergenous network
printer install I've ever done. Plus, it'll save you money on that
Postscript cartridge.
