OS X can print to an AppleTalk Postscript printer which the NTR is. So all you need is some way to go from EtherTalk (AppleTalk over Ethernet) to LocalTalk which is what the printer uses. For this you either need a hardware LocalTalk Bridge (Asante, Sonic, Farallon and others) or LocalTalk Bridge software and a Mac to run it on (one with a free Printer Port. LocalTalk Bridge is available from Apple's web site.
The only time I tried this, it was from my 6400/G4 with 9.1 and Localtalk Bridge software crashed it HARD. Really HARD.
I don't have a spare little MAc to use as a printerserver; what I are some recommened little hardware-only box models that I can find on ebay that will network a NTR like this? That would be neat.
Thanks,
