I wish SMC would document this...
Yes, I've been using my SMC Barricade working this way with my HPLJ 6MP since last year and works in 10.1.x also. (See Here for more info.) Although until a recently, there was there was an issue where the Barricade wouldn't terminate printjobs correctly. A recent SMC firmware upgrade (R.1.93s1) seems to have fixed this. For some odd reason, SMC refuses to document this tip (i.e. using 'lp' as the name of the printqueue) on their site and I've seen OSX users have to re-discover it at least 3 times so far.
I wish SMC would document this...
I'm currently using an old HP LaserJet Series II PCL printer attached to my SMC Barricade via a Parallel cable. I can print wireless by Airport or by Cat5 from my PCs. I installed Gimp Print which has the required CUPS drivers.

I agree... I posted this hint. SMC tech support had told me that the Print server did not support CUPS, only Linux!

Note that if you have rev 1.41.004 of the Barricade firmware, you must set the queue name to "LPT1", not "lp". If you try to set the queue to "lp", print jobs are stopped midway through the print process.

YES! this was the tip I needed! thank you!!!
LPT1 was the trick!
I replaced my failed 7008BR with a 7004ABR, and it is running firmware 1.42.003. The trick with this unit is also to use the Win-oriented terminology LPT1. And I think that much of this is now documented on the SMC site.

FYI, LPT1 is case-sensitive .. lpt1 will work, while LPT1 will not.

I am not having much luck with this. I followed the instructions found here using both lp and lpt1 as the print cue and using the "Epson Stylus Color, CUPS+GIMP-Print v.4.25" driver. When I try to print, I get a message, showing "Printing 0,28%" etc., up to 100%, followed by "Connecting to 192.168.1.1 on port 631" followed by "network host 192.168.1.1 is busy". (192.168.1.1 is the IP address I use for the SMC 7004AWBR router to which the Epson 740 is attached by a parallel printer cable)

I was able to print via an SMC router/print server under Jaguar. When I upgraded to Panther, this feature broke.

PROBLEM SOLVED! The problem turned out to be a Panther bug. The Fix is posted here: http://www.allosx.com/1067395661/index_html

I read the whole thread, researched a lot in the Net but still can't print :o(. I'm trying an HP OfficeJet 725.
Could someone help?
I have been trying to get the print bridge to work on my powerbook g4, 10.3, smc router, epson 740i printer and so far no luck. I think I have the computer side of things done right?? But when I try to print it seems like it is uploading something and then it says Network Host '192.168.2.1' is busy. Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix so that I can print?...... I would love to have this working.
Could someone help? Update.
Just for an update..... I fixed the problem myself. I am loving my SMC router! It was the lowest price router and it came with a usb print bridge!! The fact that it all works so well and that it was possible to use the print bridge is awesome. This was money well spent. I found this string very helpful. The tech support from SMC emailed me the links to this thread.

Hello, I am having the same problem. Could you post your solution and send me a copy at the email below?

Hi,
Could someone help?
Name the print queue "LPT1" instead of "lp". That has really made a difference on my Mac (10.3.3). Now my old HP LaserJet 4L works again both with CUPS and Foomatic drivers.
