"Printing" cat foo >>/dev/lp (shrug)

from the nix side that is all you are doing, same as copy foo lpt1 on dos. All the other pretty stuff on dos is done by printer drivers written in PCL or Postscript. So either the printer folks need to port with a usable license it is in their interest to do so. Just like the way HP "owned" the LaserJet field in the earlies.
