I have a chance to acquire an Apple LaserWriter Pro cheap, but I

Make sure there is an OSX driver for your LaserWriter Pro. There is
none for our Laserwriter IINTX which has orphaned it for us. For
connecting it to our ethernet network we used a Localtalk/Ethernet
bridge which is currently sitting on a shelf. If you get the LW Pro
and would like to buy the device, drop me a message offline.
Postscript drivers are native in OS X. It will print to any postscript
printer (but sometimes not will all the printer specific options) that
it can see. I have a IIG which has an AAUI ethernet connector that when
I hooked up to our network, my beige running 10.2.8 saw, had the
drivers built in and printed to just fine. IIRC, the NTX has an AAUI
port on it, you may want to try that.
