Don't know what you are talking about!

I've got a NeXT running release 2.0 connected via ethernet to a Sun 3/60 
that has a QMS Postscript printer at one of its serial ports and have no 
problems  printing with any application whatsoever.

Of course we had to fiddle with the printcap entry in the netinfo
database as the PrintManager does not allow you to configure a remote
printer.

% nidump printcap /
PostScript: \
