We have a Sun network spooling stuff to an Imagen printer, which we would
like to be a printer for our Mac. Does anyone out there know if it's
possible in any way to connect the Mac's printer port to the Sun's serial
port and make the Sun spool stuff to the Imagen on behalf of the Mac? Any
solution would be welcome, software as well as hardware.

On a more general (and potentially expensive) note: how does one go about
finding out about networking solutions to integrate Macs, PCs and Suns, as
well as PostScript and non-PostScript printers together?  I know nifty
things exist (like TOPS, Ethernet cards etc.) and have used hem before,
but if I have to spend a couple of thousand dollars on this, I would like
to know what all my options are. Can anyone help or refer me to a good
book/tech notes/company blurb?

Thanks a million.
Carlo.
