Xerox Phaser 6120 on OSX 10.4 (and 10.5)

Problem: None of the household Macs will print on this (the only) printer.

As many facts as I can think of:

1) Previously on the old servers/domain this printer worked fine with all
Macs and PCs

2) I think I destroyed the Phaser's built-in ethernet adapter by being
slack-brained: It now has a Netgear print-server between the network and the
Phaser's parallel port. (fixed IP)

3) Windows PC's can print with the current setup.

4) I've got the file sharing working again for the Macs on new
server/domain. (MS Small Business Server 2003)

5) With the printer added as an IP printer with the supplied Phaser driver
(on the 10.5 mini) it stops "signal 10" in the console log.

6) I can't get the printer to add as a Windows printer: I authenticate
(again and again!) and the Add Printer dialog doesn't change.

7) With the printer added as an IP printer with the supplied "Generic
Postscript" driver (on the 10.5 mini) it stops "signal 1" in the console
log.

I've got a backstop: use WinXP on Parallels to print but that isn't going to
be popular.

Many thanks in advance for any help
