Hi Nathan,
I use a BJ85 with my Newton 2100. I never got it's IR to talk to
the newton's IR, properly. It'll print some interesting jibberish but
not what I wanted printed. I bought the print pack II with the cable
that hooks the Newton to the parrell port on the printer. It prints
what I want now. I think I got the print pack for around $25. I see
them on eBay from time to time and I think there's a fairly frequent
poster to this list who sells print packs. You could find him by
searching the archives. I use the same printer via USB with iBook. It's
not particularly fast but my printing needs are pretty light. There are
some Stylewriters or Laserwriters that will talk to Newtons via IR. Hope
that helps.
cheers,
Randy
