If you happen to have a spare Linux-capable computer with USB and
ethernet, an ethernet card for your Newt and a crossover ethernet
cable, you can print PostScript-quality output rather easily.
See here:
http://newtonlink.sourceforge.net/Newton_and_Linux-mini-HOWTO.html
and look for: "How to print from a Newton using Linux"
One caveat: Netatalk is a funky and slightly buggy piece of software,
and will especially refuse to start automatically, even if set up to
do so. Other than that it works beautifully.
