The simple answer*  is to try running  /usr/etc/lprsetup and telling the
program that the printer is a Digital LN03R.  This is the nearest equivalent
printer Digital builds.  While this obviously won't exploit every feature of
your printer, it should at least give you a starting point.  The resulting
/etc/printcap should work.

Oh, you'll probably need a null modem cable to connect the printer to
the computer.
