That could work, but something to watch out for is older JetDirect servers,
both the external and MIO slot, and some EIO slot versions use JAVA. Thus you
must have JAVA support in a web browser to configure them GUI style. No JAVA

For postscript 2 printers such as LW 12/640 I set a fixed ip (this should be
done from a OS 9 computer) and the the printer is seen also by newer macs and
Yosemite.
For the NT and NTR I use them by connecting to a Mac running Tiger.

Easiest way would be to use a small ARM-based board, say a raspberryPi.
Install Linux and CUPS. install the laserwriter with a serial to USB
interface. The printer can be shared over ethernet.
CUPS supports:
LaserWriter 15/600, 4/600, IIG, IINTX, NT, Pro 630 & Select 630

Greetings all,
Does anyone know of a method to connect a Personal LaserWriter to a modern
Mac? Is there a method to make that printer networkable?

I have a PLW 300 with an Apple Talk connection. When I try to use it I
receive a message that the serial port is in use.?? The chooser
recognizes the printer as a PLW 300 and this is what is on the tag. Is
their some way to check if something is using the Apple Talk as a
serial port??. Papa Bear
