I remember using a SPARCprinter around 1999/2000. I am very
sure that I used an SS2 running Solaris 2.6. The key to getting
this working was a patched ghostscript version. I donbt have
that anymore unfortunately.
The printer was pretty decent back then, but I guess you really
have to be into running old printers, given the abundance of
more modern laser printers you can pick up so often.
