There was an old "laserwriter bridge" extension that would allow you to do a
sort of USB printer sharing scenario with an attached serial printer.
However to do this today, you would need to have a mac with a serial port,
running 9 or classic, with the older extension sharing the printer to the
network. Or am I missing something?

Thing is with brand new lasers from HP and Brother sporting native 9 and X
support for $100-250 (with optional ethernet cards for both available) Ive
been having second thoughts about my apple LaserWriter museum. (1 12/640, 2
LW 8500's, 1 IINT, a IIF, and a personal LW 300)

However all tickets will still be honored. Shows daily.
