Printing from PC to UNIX

We currently allow users of our public workstations to print from
various applications (CD-ROMS, Kermit scripts, etc) to a file on the
Novell server, which they can then email, copy to floppy or send to a
shared printer.
We have never been happy with the performance and memory hit of Novell
CAPTURE and other printer reroute utilities. For these adn other
reasons I would like to alter this process to print to a queue on a UNIX
box. To this end we have been experimenting with Novell's LPR and RPR
programs.
Has anyone else had experience printing from a PC (in DOS or Windows) to
a UNIX print queue? Any recommended utilities?
Many thanks,
