Mac OS X uses the Cups print server, if you set the permissions for this
printer to be shared, then from any Linux machine (that has cups
installed) should automatically see this printer on the network. If not
it's probably because you don't have Cups installed.

Simply do that (install cups) and in all likelihood, you'll have
printing within a minute or two (the time cups takes to find other
shared cups servers on the network).

Good luck.
