Thank you for the replies, both on- and off-list.

I have found a few manuals for such printers which show how to use ftp to 
print a PDF file.  They also have some with Windows' command prompt 
examples, where you just "copy /b filename.pdf \\server\printer".  I didn't 
see any "netcat" examples, but I believe I have enough information to go on 
at this point, and move forward.

Unless, of course, someone wants to ship me a printer to try things out with 
for myself.  (No guarantee as to when it might be returned.)  :-)
