I'm getting to this discussion late, but I have a couple of observations. First, I don't think the Personal Laserwriter LS is a localtalk printer, meaning it's a plain old serial printer. Can you use this:

Yep, that will give you the physical connection, and will work fine under OS 9. I use one on my iMac (OS 9) to connect to my Newton, but it doesn't play well with OS X. For that (X), I use the Keyspan. But it still won't allow me to use my PLW 300. The deal-breaker here is that in order to use the old Apple printers, you have to use Gimp-print under OS X, and Gimp only works with Postscript printers. As I said before, I don't know if the LS is Postscript or not, but my 300 isn't. But if anybody knows of another way to do this, I'd love to hear about. Otherwise, I'll keep looking for one that's Postscript with ethernet.
