Is your 5si a PostScript printer? IIRC it should be, but if it isn't then
it won't work with the Newton, since the Newton only generates PostScript,
not PCL. If you print a Setup page from the printer's console (read your
manual) then you should be able to check if you have a PostScript option
installed.
