Ethan- grab an old PC or laptop that has an lpt port on it, connect
it to the XRX printer and install Linux on it.  Using CUPS you can
configure it as a networked printer and the Windows machines will be
able to use it quite easily.

If nothing else it would make a nice backup printer. 

Or if you don't want 'em anymore let me know. :-)
