- High-volume Xerox printers such as the 4090, can be interfaced to Unix systems
- via a Xerox product called Soleil. This performs PostScript decomposition on a
- SPARCstation2, which converts data to Interpress format.
-
- There is a good writeup on the methodology in the paper called:
- "You Really Can Get There From Here", which describes Simon Fraser University's
- migration from MTS to a distributed Unix Environment (from sfu.ca).
