The Laserwriter 4/600PS is a network printer, although with a localtalk
port, so you need to get a localtalk to ethernet adapter. Then you can
connect it to an ethernet switch or even into a wireless base station.
Some basestations don't handle appletalk though, so be aware of that
issue. You'll need to be sure to activate appletalk in the network
panel of your macs to use it though. It'll work great. I use mine all
the time. It's a bit slow, but otherwise is a workhorse.

If this printer has an Ethernet port, then you can just put it on your
network with an Ethernet switch or hub.
But, since I think this model doesn't have any network-port, then you
will
have to connect it to your Pismo, then use OS X to share this printer
over
your network. If your Pismo is not running OS X, then you have 2
choices:
wait for Tiger on April 29th, buy it and install it on your Pismo, or
buy
another network-ready printer. Your new computer will only run OS X so
if
your Pismo is currently any flavor of the old OS 9, you won't be able
to
share it with your new PowerBook.
