	Well, it supports printing through the serial poras per normal
unix printing.  What it doesn't support is AppleTalk printing though the
on board serial ports.  That (AppleTalk printing) requires one of the
third party communications boards (either AST or SuperMac)  Because of the
differences between the Direct 30 slot and a NuBus slot (like, they're
completely different) the drivers aren't ready.  If third parties produce
the boards and the drivers they should work just fine.
