I don't see why there should be any particular problem with RS232 serial
interfaces and Xenix.  Isn't a serial port a serial port?  I.e., it's 
much more standard than parallel is.  You might have trouble with printer
driver tables if you need other than the standard fonts available by punching
buttons on the printer panel, but otherwise I would think it would be 
duck soup.

Some printers come with a choice of serial or parallel interfaces.  If it
only has parallel and your computer only supplies serial, you can buy a box
to convert from serial to parallel.  

Again, I haven't encountered your specific situation, but it seems that it
should be an easy problem to overcome.
