With a GatorBox all you need is either GatorPrint or GatorShare (version 1.6.0).
Then you just install a remote printer on the next according to the procedure
described in the Gator manuals (they have remarks for NeXT users).  I havn't
tried it on a NeXT yet, as I don't have mine yet. But printing from a unix
host is no problem.
