Hi,
I remember from years ago that Mac<->Linux printing worked one way but
not the other. It was something to do with netatalk. Does a google on
netatalk+printing reveal anything. It was about 6 years ago so maybe its
been solved. In other words, it was a technical hurdle, not a
configuration issue.
If I was in your position I would start by assuming it _was_ not possible
and research into seeing if it is _now_ possible. Hopefully it will save
a lot of unnecessary head scratching and stress related diseases. :-)
