IPD/SCS Printer Support for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the reviving-old-hardware dept.

All Dead Homiez asks: "My company has several very nice printers left over from our old mainframe setup. Unfortunately, they have a BNC interface that speaks the IPD/SCS protocol instead of Ethernet. We are an all-Linux shop now and we'd hate for all of these perfectly good printers to go to waste, so does anyone know if there is any software for Linux that speaks IPD/SCS?"

    definitely useful if you're somehow against using the parallel port on the printer (or if it is not an option.)
