AFAIK, you cannot use the Newton as a print server/bridge.
In my case, I have a Laserwriter 360. I have it connected to an old G3
Mac desktop running System 9.2. I have the Laserwriter Bridge software
installed. The Mac is connected to the network via Ethernet cable to
the hub.
I am trying to free up some space, so I ordered a D-Link DP-301P+ print
server. It should arrive this week.
Here is the Macwarehouse URL:

I purchased the LAN version. They also have a wireless version. I am
looking to test it out next weekend. I can let you know how it works
if you are interested.
