Q: How to connect Mac Pro to Laserwriter IINT not on a network?
I would like to connect my stand-a-lone Laserwriter NTII to my new Macbook Pro. Can this be done via some cable adapter via USB to serial or other connection. I do not have a network available.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Sorry, but unless someone else here can think of a workaround I can't, you will not be able to use a LaserWriter IINT with a Snow Leopard system The IINT was an AppleTalk printer and Snow Leopard dropped all support for AppleTalk. Snow Leopard also lacks drivers for the IINT. Time to put that old LaserWriter out to pasture, I fear.
Regards.
