Hi, There is an extension by Apple called "Appletalk Bridge" that you put on the print server mac. Then all the Macs on the ethernet can see the printer (via chooser) and print to it. You need a printer driver on the sending Mac that can send appletalk over ethernet, however. PC's won't be able to use a printer served by a Mac appletalk bridge. Now that I mention it, I haven't tried printing through a bridge from OS X.
Oh, are you sure the Epson uses the ADB port (port that older keyboard and mice go to)? I suspect it's Appletalk or USB. And does the Epson have a parallel port that maybe you never used? I think the parallel output of your router would be the best connection for any printer.
