I have a Personal LaswerWriter 300 that was given to me. Its an old serial printer. What I'd like to do is use an old 6100 that I have lying around, and make some sort of print server out of it, so I can print over my network, from my G4, to the laserwriter. Hmm?

Install 'laserwriter bridge' (free download from apple) and it will work splendidly.

"... in 6 months if WMD are found, I hope all clear-thinking people who opposed the war will say "You're right, we were wrong -- good job". Similarly, if after 6 months no WMD are found, people who supported the war should say the same thing -- and move to impeach Mr. Bush." - moki, 04/16/03
