I have a LaserWriter IIf that I would like to keep on PhoneNet, and connect to Ethernet. I have a Farallon EtherMac iPrint Adapter (PhoneNet type) and a AsanteTalk LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge. Can I use one of these devices to connect my LWIIf to Ethernet, so I can use it with newer Macs? I'm assuming the answer to this is yes.
The next question is, can I use one of these devices to connect the printer to Ethernet, so that I can use it with PCs? I know the IIf is PC-compatible via serial, but it woud be much nicer to have it running on Ethernet so I don't have to keep a print server running all the time. I lightly skimmed Google earlier, and found a forum topic somewhere where a guy asked if he could do the same with Linux PCs. It sounded like the parties involved thought it was possible, although no actual method of doing this came up. I guess my other alternative would be to get a serial cable, set up a print server and STFU. This message was sent using: PowerBook 520 -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
