It depends on how they're being shared.  You may need a Printer Definition 
File - the other kind of .pdf.  CUPS is pretty much standard now, cups.org 
has some decent docs on-line.  The LaserJet is pretty much guarnateed to work 
no matter what.  Tektronix are imbedded in the old 1960's Unix code, aren't 
they?  Savin might be tricky, but if there are drivers then you can probably 
find a GUI util to add them to the 'Dog.
