probably.

assuming the LJ4+ supports EtherTalk, you just need to set your
AppleTalk preferences to use EtherTalk, not LocalTalk, and then it
should just pop up in the "Other Network Printer" list when printing.

if the printer is connected to the RedHat box (or doesn't do native
EtherTalk), you can export it for Mac/Newt using a thing called
netatalk on Linux.
