Yes, but under OS X you gotta have an Ethernet interface in order to get to the printer at all. At least as far as I know. I suppose this is because there is no Appletalk support for the localtalk connection under OS X.

Sure, but I think you'd find the postage expensive as it's in Sweden and it's what, 20.5 kg? Probably would be cheaper for me to pay for bridge freight. Heh. ;) I suppose I'd be interested enough in getting this old printer printing in OS X to put down $20 in total, but not more. I sold a Personal Laserwriter LS 6 months ago for $13 plus freight, so if I can't get a bridge for $20, then I suppose I could sell the NTX for $20 or whatever and buy ink for a Lexmark that was given to me. I don't do much print at the moment so a laser isn't so important for me. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
