Most printers with ethernet or serial interfaces should work.
Minolta/QMS use oddball drivers on their ethernet printers that may
cause some problems. As always, "Win" devices are a loose, but
generally would have parrallel interfaces anyway. The SS2 serial port
maxes out at 19200 baud.
For a cheap printer, see if you can find a Laserjet 3 with jetdirect
card or a Laserjet 4M on the used market. The 2100TN is a more recent
replacement.
SBUS parrallel port cards do exist, but probably arn't worth the
effort.
