For small values of "work."  It will coexist on the ethernet
with TCP/IP, but you can not talk to it without DECNET.  VMS
support we have, and ULTRIX support is on the way (I hear), so
at least you get a MicroVax running ULTRIX to gateway from TCP
to the printer.  Fortunately for us, our IP routers can switch
DECNET as well.
