Any way to print from a IIc to a network printer?

I don’t have an ImageWriter. Any way to print? I’m wondering if I had a direct serial connection to a print server that could handle the printing...  maybe I’m dreaming.

Yes, the IIc serial ports (printer and modem)  are RS-232 using a 5 pin DIN connector.

The ImageWriter LQ emulation in GSport is completely modular. All you'd have to do is write a port monitoring deamon for Linux and pipe the emulator's output to CUPS and run it on something like a RPi.

Sorry if this is resurrecting a thread past it's due date, but this looks interesting:

I've been thinking about buying one and can report back if I do so.

I move my Apple //c files over to my Mac using BMOW's Floppy EMU (micro-SD-->SD reader) and then use Gerard Putter's excellent Virtual ][ emulator to print to my Epson Artisan 810

This is actually a KoalaPad PICTR file that I had to use CiderPress in Windows XP in Parallels to be able to read its unique graphic file:
