We (Tektronix) have two color printers that are compatible with the IRIS.
Interface is serial parallel or ethernet and there are drivers available.
The printers are 300dpi thermal wax, not laser.  The Phaser II PX is a
postscript printer and the Phaser II DX is a raster printer.  The DX
has a SCSI interface but no  driver has been written for the IRIS.  If
you would like more info, email me.
