To do this the least expensive, I would suggest using a box running Linux as

I have NOT tried this with EtherTalk/AppleTalk, but I have done this without
to much trouble for PC and Linux mixes. I would think it could be made to
work, but it'll probably be a bit of work.
Actually, no work at all. Simply make it a LPR printer on the mac end, supported in both Classic and OS X and you print to the queues without a hassle.
Of all the stuff we've ever had problems with, printing hasn't been one of them, at least printing to LPR hosts that is.
