The adapters are pricy, so I think looking for a new printer is the way to go, But it's just a shame to give up this laserprinter that has nothing wrong with it! Thanks to everyone for info on this! Kim

Older Macs can run LocalTalk Bridge, a free download from Apple. As the title indicates, it will bridge between LocalTalk (the 4/600) and ethernet. An old Powerbook 520 would be great for that purpose.
