In principle, you could connect the II P to an ethernet print server and have it at least be accessible to the Mac. However, since it's a PCL 2 printer, it's not likely to ever be a good solution. For the price of a print server and the time you'd spend getting it to work, you'd be better off getting a cheap new(er) laser printer that's supported out of the box.

I have a couple of questions that I need some input on please. Will a G4 AGP motherboard fit into a G3 B&W? Without alterations, or minor alterations? Will the B&W power supply support it with say a 500 to 700 processor? I have a few G3's here and have overclocked the one(a 350) to a 400 added a fan to the heatsink and have had no problems to date. I has had over 72 hours straight uptime so I know the overclock has no ill effect on it but, I want a little more and I figure a G4 700 with an AGP card would do the trick and not cost me my firstborn and sacrifices to the gods on a daily basis ( I am going to look for one on the cheap). I also would like to know if there is any way to hook up my HP PII laser to the B&W? I am using it now on a switch between my 2 other linux boxes and would like to include the mac in the mix. I would prefer adding it to the switch box and using it that way to prevent the hassle of changing cables whenever I want to use it. Thats about it, any help will be greatly appreciated.
