I think there is a product called etherprint which lets you put the printer
on the ethernet. Then the printer is available all the time to all the
machines. I don't want to say any more. I don't know much about this sort
of thing.
(Well half a word more: The Next is the only machine which runs only one
operating system. It should be your printer machine if you attach the
printer to a machine. Then use lpr clients on the other machines. Lpr clients
are available for all the operating systems involved.
