I don't recall a GS printing to a printserver.... except over Appletalk. If you set up A2server to look like a AppleTalk server with printer, you could probably redirect it to cups on the linux side of things.
Never tried, its just a thought.

GSport's Virtual ImageWriter is written as a modular C++ library. It
wouldn't be too difficult to write a serial port daemon that would
monitor and render incoming printer data from a real Apple II.

So. Forgetting to install CUPS on the PI. All my printing failed to get to the printer connected directly to the PI via USB. I saw all the print 'spool' files on the HD from each different configuration.
So.
I now have CUPS client installed and am going to be testing but I wonder if CUPS printer server might have been a better option.
Well.
Test, Test, Test.
