If you have an OSX mac (Pismo could be one?) running a newer version
of OSX, you can use the printer sharing option in OSX, and then use
Eckhart and Paul's LPR printer driver for Newton.

This will cause the Newton to print wirelessly to the Mac, which will
then push the data to the printer.

If the printer has built in Postscript you could also print directly
to the printer (most likely).

Hope this helps,
Marty
