Looks like you have a regular localtalk LaserWriter. Since you have a nice
localtalk <=> ethertalk bridge it should apear on your iMac's ethernet as
an appletalk printer. You can use it with pap in the netatalk package.
With nbplkup in the same package you can check if it indeed shows up as an
appletalk node.
