Sharing a Postscript printer between Macs and IBMs can be done by buying
localtalk cards for the IBMs and running AppleShare PC on them. This will 
all of the machines to access all the devices on an appletalk network. I have
set up a system like this and it works quite well.  The IBMs can access Apple
Share file servers as well. Some IBM software will run off the server although
much will not.

There are glitches with this system. However, once you are familiar with its
little quirks it works great.  If you want more info, or need help with some
quirks feel free to drop me a line.
