The laserwriter II NTX only connects to Appletalk via RS-422 ports-- which the iBook does not have.I guess you meant LocalTalk - AppleTalk is a layer above, and works on Ethernet as well. Speaking of which, there are LocalTalk<->Ethernet converters, but unless you use the printer very often, it's probably not worth the money.
There is a feature that ditches Appletalk in favour of a direct serial connection, but it is unclear whether that even works with Macs serial ports, much less USB-Serial converters.I've made rather bad experiences with LaserWriters and USB-Serial converters, such as the Mac and the LaserWriter waiting infinitely for each other to say something, sometimes after each print job. Using a Powermac as a bridge is certainly much more reliable.
