Unfortunately, Kodak doesn't do sun drivers for this printer. I'm not sure what this think costs, but I've heard that it retails for somewhere around $30,000. If anyone out there happens to already have written scsi drivers or image file converters to drive this printer, please let me know. I'm probably going to have to write some stuff myself, so I need some pointers to good starting places for writing scsi driver code. I imagine that this will end up as something like /dev/kodak on the 4/280. Is there some place that I can pick up some example driver code and instructions on good ways to test and debug the driver?
