Are you sure? The PB2400 has a mac serial bus, and I remember having a
hard time looking for a printer for it even when it was relatively new.
Shouldn't have thrown that thing out...

It will probably print 1-2 pages once a month.
Small foot print will help.

Any recommendation? >>


If you don't mind an inkjet I have an Apple Stylewriter II that is quite
small and works well using Canon black ink.

I have an old Laserwriter II NT.
I want to connect her with a powerbook G4 and an iMac G3
Who know if it is possible and how to connect?

Thanks

Check out CUPS (ie <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://127.0.0.1:631" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:631</a> and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.cups.org" target="_blank">http://www.cups.org</a> ) look
at serial-to-usb bridges, etc

the laserwriter IInt is a localtalk printer with 2 mb (not upgradable)
memory.

if the print engine works well, the best way to connect it is to replace
the IInt controller board (undo the 2 screws and slide it out) with a
IIg controller, which will give you a faster rip, upgradable memory, and
(appletalk) ethernet connectivity.
