My Ethernet/Localtalk adapters cost me from $5 to $15 each, so I don't consider that pricy. Ignore the poster who said serial-to-usb adapter; that will not work with the 4/600 because the printer is not "serial", it is localtalk. An ethernet/localtalk bridge is needed for localtalk printers. If you don't have an extra ethernet port, look for the Farallon EtherWave printer adapter since it includes a mini-hub. Apple's postscript level 2 lasers are compatible with OS X, including the 4/600, Pro 600, Personal 320, Select 360, Personal NTR, and IIf. The IIg and higher models already have ethernet and require at most an AAUI/RJ45 dongle if anything. >I have a similiar situation of connecting my Laserwriter II NTX... An ethernet/localtalk bridge will put this printer on an ethernet network, but only for MacOS 9 and earlier (it is not postscript level 2). -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
