Here's what I would do if I wanted to use an old iMac as a print-server for QTR:

Set up filesharing between the Mac and PC (easily done in Jaguar)

Leave the files on the PC, on a shared partition. 

Open the files in, say, Graphic Converter. Photoshop Elements, Portraits-n-Prints, 
ImageBuddy, or some other "practically freeware" application, make _no_ edits, and 
print them directly, leaving them on the PC's shared drive the whole time.

Move to quarantaine
