Brian, are you file sharing between your windoze network and your macs?
We use pcmaclan at home and until recently, our macs printed through pcmaclan's print server to a windoze printer. Now, fortunately, the Macs have overtaken the windows machines at home and we only have one more PC to kick out.
If you are using pcmaclan on the windows side, it comes with print server software, which I never got to work really well until I went on pcmaclan's website. There they have instructions for installing ghostscript on the pc side as well as a program that watches a directory and then activates ghostscript. There was a pseudo printer driver that you used through the pc side that shows up as "ghostscript" on the mac side. You print to this, it sends the postscript file to the windows machine, where a another pcmaclan program watches the directory of your choosing for a ghostscript file to appear there. When it does, it sends it to the windows printer. I hope I haven't made it sound too complicated, because it's not, and once set up, you can print flawlessly from OS X and from OS 9.
