Here's a thought.  Are any of the computers near the printer left on 
all the time?  If so, it would be much easier, and cheaper, to just use 
that computer as the print server.  That is how I had my NEC laser set 
up for years before I went to the networkable HP color laser.  It was 
parallel only, but with yours, you could easily set it up under PC or 
Mac. hth

Just a message from Doug...
