SMC Barricade firewall/routers have print servers.  I have one, and it 
functions as a Unix lp queue with a parallel interface.  Works fine for 
a postscript printer.  The one problem I've seen is that its memory has 
limits; sometimes very large graphical images won't print.

The newer SMCs have a USB printer queue.  I'm not sure whether they 
still have Unix compatibility, mine's three years old.
