One reason could be the lack of speed - most printers with RS232 interfaces only manage 9600 BPS, some 19200 BPS. One nice product I've seen is by an english company called Software Products. They take a Canon chassi and connect a parallell cable to a VME card for SUNs they developed. This makes the printer work as fast as it can, but I dont know what youre supposed to send to the card. I suppose it's a bitmap, and possibly only their own DTP program work with it.
