Bingo!  Requires special SBus interface card (NOT parallel) and cable; 
the host machine does all of the rendering.  Its just a dumb laser
engine.

(the SPARCprinter I that is; newer ones might be native PS)

I had a SS2 dedicated to running a SPARCprinter at an old job; with Samba
installed it made a great way for the Windows boxes to print.
