It is an uphill battle to print to an Appletalk device, but is possible. 
I did it a couple of years ago, and it was not high on my list of 
favorite experiences. :-) Lots of custom /etc config files and 
trial-N-error testing. But, it did work.

The following links were helpful:

I ended up eventually swapping the Appletalk only printer for one with a 
parralel port and a cheap TPC/IP print server ($60.00 D-Link DP-101). 
The printserver supported AppleTalk, so it shows up in the Chooser for 
Macs and was printable by all platforms using TCP/IP. WAY faster too.

Best..
