I'm in a hurry to get out to work so can't give a full walkthrough, but I use a LaserJet 6M/P on a DLink print server with YDL4. You don't need any extra drivers - its PCL6 and Postscript 2 in hardware. IIRC the built in print configuration tools worked fine - you need the IP address and the queue name to configure it
