Now, of course, I want to figure out how to print from the Powerbook to a printer on the LAN which does not know anything about AppleTalk.
The tools you may or may not need are netatalk's papd, CUPS, ghostscript and Samba.

Papd may default to printing on the Linux boxes lpr. So if you have CUPS or whatever you can use a redirected printer. Samba would be needed to print to a window's printer. The best solution is to make the Apple box use the LaserWriter 8 driver and print using postscript. Then you may need ghostscript to do the appropriate rendering.
