I had a LaserWriter IIG shared wirelessly for many of my relatively modern machines. Ran ethernet from IIg to an original graphite Airport base station, and I could print wirelessly from my iBook G3, eMac, PowerMac G4, etc. I can't remember the most recent OS I successfully printed with; I've since unhooked the printer as its size to usage ratio didn't warrant keeping it out.
