I have access to some Suns and DECs and would like to be able to grab
images from either a digital or analog input.  Can someone tell me
of any literature/phone numbers of companies/personal experiences
with frame grabbing boards for either the Sun or DEC?

In addition, I have images which I would like to print on to a laser printer.
What software packages would allow me to print images onto a postscript
laser printer?  Does anyone have any experiences/recommendations for 
printers which receive an analog signal and print out a photograph-like
picture?

Recommendations/answers/preferences are definitely welcomed.

We have a SUN VideoPix card.  It is good for still grabs, gets 640x480 off
S-video.  It will print directly to a PS printer(very nice output).  Also
RasterOps makes a frame grabber which is faster(I haven't used it).  
SUN sales/support would be a good number to call. The have a few cards which
work.  The VideoPix being the cheapest, but fine for what we need.

BTW we have a Sparc10 and can grab a good number of frames per minute.

Maybe 2-3 per second for a short duration.
