You might want to try a Bonjour printer setup. I haven't tried a linux- 
based network printer, but in my experience os x 10.5 easily finds  
network printers attached to other macs and windows boxes. You might  
also want to find the IP address of the printer and input that  
directly into the IP setup tab.
