I used PowerPrint with a Quadra and an LJII. It comes with an Mac printer-to-parallel cable and drivers. It was pretty slow, but with your PS cartridge the amount of data transmitted is much less than the page-size bitmap needed for PCL so it should be okay. Currently it's on sale at http://www.strydent.com/, not very cheap but look for an older copy on Ebay or wherever. There's a very old FAQ on this at http://www.issb.k12.hi.us/docs/issbuniv/laserjetonamacintosh11.html See particularly on cabling. You may be able to get by with a simple serial cable, to the LJ's RS232 port. (Note you have to change the setting on the front panel from the default parallel port if you do.) There are also Appletalk cards for the LJ. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
