Another option would be to look into Compaq printservers (rapid print series). We use the rapid print 200's. I'm not sure of their price, but they support tcp/ip,lat, lpd, appletalk and novell protocols. They have two ports, one parralell which will support both dataproducts configuration and centronics as well as a serial port. By tcp/ip, I mean socket support.

Netatalk allows linux systems to print to Appletalk printers. Good luck!
