Tricky. If your printer supports lpr or tcp/ip printing, there are a few custom devices to use. Just replace parallel.device in the Turboprint prefs. As for the devices, lpr.device and netpar.device are two that might suit you.

NetPar is on aminet:
http://ftp.plig.org/pub/aminet/comm/tcp/NetParLpr.lha

Lpr.device is on the OS3.9 CD in the contributions dir. You should be able to find it somewhere if you don't have the CD too.

It's no guarantee it'll work, but it's worth a try.

Also Samba is a possibility.

I use NetPar for my router's printer server, and I don't get any crashes here. In fact, it works almost flawlessly... strange. Have you tried making absolutely sure Miami has no Service entry for port 515? I know NetPar doesn't like that very much... It's never crashed me, though.
