Hi Eric, Ok, it's a Personal LaserWriter, page count is 19845 (using a mechanical dial), model #EN 2300G, made in Japan in 1987; has two centronics connectors and one 8 pin mini-din (AppleTalk, I guess). Bruce Johnson suggested the LaserWriter 8 driver. I have no idea which toner cartridge is used or if it's available, and the GCC website doesn't list this model. Test page is merely a checkerboard pattern, no config data (previous owner was not really the owner, just a go-between). Thanks for all your help. George
