1) If your Mac printer is connected to a Mac serial port, it should be
possible (with the right cable) to connect it to your PC and make
it work. (I used to have a printer with a serial interface connected
to my linux box.)
2) Take a look at netatalk. (See
http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/)
This package does for the Mac what samba does for the PC. I used to
use netatalk to share my linux hard disk with my Mac and to print
documents from my Mac to a printer connected to my linux box. I
have no idea if the reverse direction (which is your problem) is
possible. You will want to carefully read the netatalk documentation
to find out.
