If it supports LocalTalk then any LocalTalk<->EtherTalk bridge would
work. I've seen them new for ~US$100 (but haven't looked recently).
Also you could get an old Mac II running Mac OS 7.x with an Ethernet
card and run Apple's free-as-in-beer LaserWriter Bridge on it - might be
cheaper.

Sure, install netatalk and look at the pap man page. There are a few
sites around the web that will walk you through setting it up so that
LPR prints to it using pap too.
