Artecon advertises that "ArteTHS", their Ethernet terminal server
software, "transform[s] ethernet-based ports into local serial ports."
Essentially, they have a driver in the kernel which allows you to attach
modems or printers to their terminal server, but to get at them from the
Sun as though they were connected directly.  1-800-USA-ARTE.

On another approach, you can buy laser printers, such as those of Imagen,
which sit directly on the net.  They provide the necessary software to
make this work.  Imagen also has PostScript, I believe.  [[ They call it
"UltraScript", but it's a work-alike.  It ain't cheap, tho.  --wnl ]]
