you can use the serial port to establish a PPP connection to your
linux box, and then print to an lpr print queue (with ghostscript)
using that?
it's been a while since is set this up, but as i recall, on the newton
side it was pretty simple (you need a serial/PPP pkg for NIE), and on
the linux side, you have to edit /etc/inittab to get it to listen on
one of your serial ports for a PPP connection (there's likely to be an
example in the existing file).
hope this helps,
