Did you ever print in 10.4.11 on the old Beige, or with it printing in
OS 9 only also?
Below is an old article on serial printing in OS X. "Normal" serial
printing requires the installation of serial printing enabler
software. On this page, it says that the LaserWriter Select 310 (and
I'm guessing also your 360?) use a non-standard protocol for
communicating with the printer over a standard serial port & cable. I
was given an old LaserWriter Select in perfect condition, and I looked
into this once and determined it was too much work for me to mess
with, but it may be possible if you follow the links to the
information about the non-standard protocol. Here's a link to get you
started:
