If your printer doesn't support Postscript, you can use CUPS on a unix, linux or Mac system to do the conversion.  I use NetParLpr (http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/NetParLpr) on the Amiga to print to a Samsung SCX-4500W connected to my Mac.

This is what I do, except I use (my) ipp.device under OS4 - CUPS supports IPP natively, it takes some extra fiddling for LPR which I could never get to work very reliably anyway.

btw, the system running CUPS is a Raspberry Pi sitting under the desk, so it's effectively working as an intelligent print server.

If your printer supports it, use Google Cloud - http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67845
That way, you don't have to worry about installing drivers.
