SCSI to Parallel box?

Hi,
Still trying to decide how to connect a color printer without having
to go over serial lines. The ethernet connection is a possibility,
but fairly pricey. Has anyone seen/heard/used a SCSI-to-centronics
box? If so, how do they work?

There is still an outside chance of getting a NeXT color printer - I
should have a sample printout today.

People have commented on the poor output or performance of the Tek
printers, but this doesn't match up with my experience. Perhaps
the NeXT printer is better for some things, but in image processing
thermal wax gives that cartoonish - neon look. If I can find a cheap
enough way to hook it up, we may even go with the Phase IISD dye
sublimation printer.

Thanks to all those who responded both here and via email.
