I actually saw your post on one of the boards. I don't know if this will work in X, but it does in OS 9. Have you considered running a pizza box or compact Mac as a server for your 300? Then you can do printer sharing to the ethernet if the computer has that or AppleTalk if it doesn't.
The response I received from the linux-printing/OSX mailing list told me that X will not print to a classic Mac server. I think it should, or at least Apple should support that kind of config, but unfortunately a non-localtalk capable printer will not be seen across a network by any machine running anything else than classic MacOS. The problem is duplicated by Win2k machines with Appletalk enabled--they can't see the shared printer, either.
I now have a Lexmark Optra S 1625 as the printer for the network--built in ethernet makes all the difference.
