try apsfilter; I used it under slack 8.1 and it works great; prints both postscript and ascii text correctly. just run /usr/share/apsfilter/SETUP; it's text based and works great. I went with most of the defaults. Once the printer works under lpr, just share it via samba and install local drivers on your windows box and all should be good.
