I have an old Beige G3 233 mhz computer that I wanted to set up as a kind of "print server". I have it networked to a hub which also has an airport base station hooked up. I was wondering first: how do I get a serial printer (HP LaserJet 4m) to work in 10.2(if this is possible) and second how do I share it with the rest of the network. Any help you could provide would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,

I don't know the answer to this offhand... but I'm pretty sure it's possible... and it's going to involve CUPS and Gimp-Print

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/index.php3

That might get you started.
