Networking is simple when you use 1) the LPR.device and the instructions (the redirection command or the DEVS:config file) and 2) a TCP/IP stack OTHER than AmiTCP v3 -- Miami or better yet, RoadShow. The LPR.device files are on Aminet.

I am away on business until this evening when I can post the actual commands and file changes. It works in both OS 3.9 & 4.1, but I'm not sure of 3.1/3.5. I use a simple IconX file to copy ENV variables and switch printers. Postscript/Ghostscript is not required when using Final Copy and PageStream. I have TurboPrint v7.60, but the regular printer drivers (including the PS) from OS 3.9 & 4.1 work fine -- on my Dell workgroup printer, HP inkjet, HP ColorLaser, and Samsung mono laser. I use a combination of wired and wireless; all that is needed are the TCP/IP addresses.
