How to be a print server on OS X?

Forgive me for asking this here, but it's my last resort. I've had no
joy with the Darwin list and I've tried a question to DTS who weren't
much help either.

Our company has a PostScript RIP/workflow product. On OS 9 we are a PAP
server, but on OS X we're not sure what we should be. I understand
there is some PAP support in OS X, but in some ways we'd rather move to
lpr/lpd. Is this the correct thing to do on OS X? We've got lpr working
on the local machine (after creating a printcap entry and passing it
into niload), but we've hit a brick wall getting the server to accept
other lpr clients. OS X evidently doesn't honor /etc/hosts.lpd and I've
no idea how to get this information into NetInfo.

Can anyone help? Should we revert to PAP?!
