	Nothing official from CBM-Amiga but I hear that there is a PD one
on one of the Fish disks.

	If you had a postscript printer driver you could just use the CMD
program to redirect the output to your Sun (assuming you had both connected
via ethernet).

	For V1.4, I hope to write a simple postscript printer driver that
will translate Amiga standard printer commands to PostScript commands.  This
would make it trivial to hook up a PostScript printer to the Amiga.  For now
you'll have to use the PD one.
