I’ve haven’t tested this exhaustively, but gimp-print and xwprint are both supported under Solaris. In addition to native PostScript printers, this should give you access to a wide range of printer drivers, possibly even including USB. If you’ve tried a printer under Solaris 8 on the Sun Blade 100, please feel free to add some more details here! xwprint: http://xwtools.automatix.de/startE.htm (commercial) gimp-print: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ (GNU open source) I have got my Epson Photo 870 to work with Solaris 8 via the parallel port, using xwprint. michael@wells.org.
