Googling for "linksys printserver linux" turned up several hits, although
none specifically for the EPSX3 (I didn't look that hard). Some of the more
promising links included:

http://www.angelfire.com/blues/ddallasnc/
http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=18
and, especially http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=18#tcpip

HTH.
