For a single printer, the best solution might be Dayna's EtherPrint
box, which will interface a printer to an EtherTalk network.  It
lists for about $500.  Alternatively, one could use software like
Liaison from Farallon (list $300) on a machine which is powered up
all the time.  It will steal some CPU cycles from that machine, but
it may still be used as a workstation, depending on the software
one wants to run on it.
