More information is available <a href="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/54851-networking-printers-faq.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Your best bet would be to configure the printer with LPR and try to use one of the Gutenprint drivers (if one exists for that model).  If it doesn't, you can try experimenting with other Gutenprint drivers that come close to matching that model's capabilities.  You may also be able to use the <a href="http://www.printfab.net/" target="_blank">PrintFab</a> driver package, but it's not cheap.Another option, of course, is to just scrap that printer and get one with a built-in print server (which are fairly ubiquitous these days).  Then you needn't worry about serving it from one of your machines.</blockquote>

Verification: How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
