The NeXT has serial ports, why couldn't you hook it up to a PC?  Just
write some software to listen to the serial port and print whatever
comes in over it.

As for AppleTalk, no I can't see how you can daisy-chain a NeXT along
with some Macs, but for some people CAP should let Mac users spool to
a NeXT printer, no?  As long as you've got some sort of an appletalk
ethernet gateway...
