If memory serves me corectly, it was a 3rd party device. I worked on the 4850 and 4890 (highlight variants of 4050 and 4090) while at Xerox, and we did have a lab that had a 4850 successfully printing PostScript docs off Ethernet, I just can't rmember the specifics (brain fade). I don't see any reason for the 4050 not to be able to do the same, seeing that the xerographic subsystems are the only major difference (they both use roughly the same controller) Let me check with some of my former colleagues and I'll post ASAP.
