I want to run a Tektronix Colorquick printer with a SUN SparcstationIPC, but I don't
have a parallel port. I am told that unless the driver specifically has a SCSI
driver with it, I either need to get a parallel port (on an SBus board, I guess)
or get a SCSI driver from ColorSoft.
Can anyone tell me
a)if there is a SCSI driver with the Tek4697 driver or
b)which is easier to get, an SBus parallel port or a SCSI driver? Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated -- this is much more complicated than I thought!

I don't know about the SCSI driver, but parallel cards cost a couple
of hundred dollars and are very easy to install. Check out the third
party suppliers for the best deals. We bought one from Artecon.
