High-volume Xerox printers such as the 4090, can be interfaced to Unix systems
via a Xerox product called Soleil. This performs PostScript decomposition on a
SPARCstation2, which converts data to Interpress format. 

There is a good writeup on the methodology in the paper called: 
"You Really Can Get There From Here", which describes Simon Fraser University's
migration from MTS to a distributed Unix Environment (from sfu.ca).
