Hi All
Our approach is slightly different.

We have many network printers, a mix of laser and ink jet, monochrome and
colour.
These are fed by a Linux server which accepts print output from the various
flavours of Mac, Windows and Unix used here. (maybe even DOS? !~)

If your main server is NT, then it *should* be able to do the same thing.
I believe that NT has the capability to mount Mac file systems, serve
Mac clients etc...
Though these are probably extensions of the NT-server system, and not
installed unless specifically requested.
I'm even less familiar with Mac print server, so I won't comment... :~;

	Good Luck, Joseph.
