Dan,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but since the LWS300 is QuickDraw
based (much like most inkjets), it isn't going to work with OSX. QuickDraw
is dead and OSX doesn't support printng through the serial ports. Without
the driver, there isn't a way to connect to it through another machine.

Now, that doesn't mean that you are completely out of the running yet. If
you are comfortable with the command line, you might want to try the
gimp-print/ghostscript drivers. I don't know the status of these as far as
QuickDraw printers go, but they work for some inkjets and older
LaserWriters. (OSX doesn't support to a Postscript printer below
Postscript Level 2).

Also, don't bother with the Select 360 driver you mentioned. The LWS360 is
Postscript. I think it is kind of close to a HPLJ4 or 3.

Good luck
-Rob
