I use a Trendnet USB printer server. It works fine but mine does not have MAC OS support. 

This one appears to support MAC OS but I have no personal experience:

The printer then looks like a usb device to the computer. But I don't understand enough about what networking layer(s) are at play between QTR and this kind of adapter to know if it would look to QTR like a usb connection.
