You might try to use Columbia AppleTalk Package, CAP, on the NeXT. With CAP
you can print directly to any PostScript printer on any AppleTalk network
with a Kinetics FastPath. Depending on the FastPaths you use, you might
want to use Kinetics Internet Protocol-package (KIP) or K-Star.

CAP can be ftp:d from cunixc.columbia.edu (128.59.40.130), in directory "/cap".
KIP can be found from sumex-aim.stanford.edu or sumex-2060.stanford.edu.
K-Star comes with Kinetics FastPath 4:s and FastPath 2/3 upgrades.
