Back in 5.x, I made a small change to the filter script to allow printing
to an AppleTalk printer hanging off my wife's Mac.  This requires you
install the appletalk bridge system extension on the mac (available from
Apple's FTP site).

Here's the unified diff against 6.1's master-filter.  You will also note
the reference to the .paprc file in the lpd directory.  That file merely
contains the name of the printer; in my case it is "OL610e/PS:LaserWriter"
but anyone using this can get if from nbplkup.
