Depends on what you mean by print directly. If you want to use Ethernet, then
yes - get the JetDirect, install it, enable AppleTalk, and then your Newton
should be able to sense the printer on the network. (Set your Newton to use
the Ethernet card for AppleTalk first!)

You can also print directly to it via a Mac printer cable. I don't recall if
LJ4s come with an AppleTalk port built-in or if it's on the JetDirect card.
In this case, turn on AppleTalk on the printer and set your Newton to use
LocalTalk.
