I don't have any problem printing to my 16/600 PS, which I think, is very
similar to the 630 Pro (is this what you're talking about?).
The requirements for OS X are still a Postscript 2 printer with Ethernet.
You can still use, I think, a LocalTalk-based laserwriter with a LocalTalk
to Ethernet bridge, like the AsanteTalk.
