Apr 23, 2014 2:52 PM in response to Sedogrivecby Jan Hedlund,Hi,
Be prepared to carry out experiments.
The LaserWriter Select 360 is a PostScript Level 2 and PCL 5 printer with LocalTalk, serial and parallel ports.

The printer could per se be connected to a computer via an Ethernet-to-parallel print server (over TCP/IP) or through a USB-to-parallel adapter. Even a USB-to-serial adapter could possibly be tested. However, finding suitable printer drivers may be a problem. The http://techguylabs.com/blog/get-older-printers-working-os-x-mavericks web page provides some ideas. If driver software cannot be found for the exact printer, you may want to look for something like a generic PostScript or PCL driver.

Apr 16, 2015 9:59 PM in response to Sedogrivecby WoodPlane,I use an Apple LaserWriter Select 300 on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. I print to a pdf file, then copy the pdf file to my old mac running Mac OS 9.2. I use Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0.5 to print. I have Acrobat Reader 5.x, but I have never gotten it to work.

Apr 19, 2015 8:38 AM in response to Sedogrivecby John Galt,The last time I used that model LaserWriter it was with Mountain Lion. I have yet to verify Mavericks or Yosemite. The following is from an earlier post, applicable to Mountain Lion:
This adapter will work. Others may not.
The printer will appear in System Preferences > Print & Scan as "ATEN UC-1284B Printer Cable". Select LaserWriter Select 360 as its driver.
