Ethernet bridge for LocalTalk printers
You don't have to use an old Mac running OS 9 to get an old laserwriter on an Ethernet network. You could also use an Asante Localtalk to Ethernet bridge to connect a Localtalk printer to an OS X computer:

Right you are seek. I wonder if anyone has tried using LocalTalk Bridge for networking, not just printing? You could connect an Ethernetless Mac such as a Mac Plus to your Ethernet enabled server machine running LocalTalk Bridge. Would you be able to mount the Mac Plus HD in OS X?

I recommend (and use) the iPrintLT which can be found on the web for about $60 or so. You also need one "PhoneNet" connector (between the printer and the iPrintLT). The iPrintLT ships with both patch and cross-over RJ45 cables. My current system is a Dual-867 running 10.2.2. The printer is a LaserWriter 4/600. |
