Apple Personal Laserwriter NT
Equipped only with a local talk port and a serial port (a D25 from memory)
[yes, it is a serial port, not a parallel or SCSI, I've got the manual]

Need to get it networked so it can be printed to from PCs via a network :

---
Option 1
Hang the printer on an old networked LCIII with LaserWriter Bridge installed

Problem :
How do I get an NT server to see the Mac (and the shared printer?) when
adding a printer?
---
Option 2
Use the special adapter cable and hang the printer of a networked PC

Problem :
How do I configure a custom printer (the PC is likely to be a NT box) using
the serial, baud and parity info from the printer manual?
---

Any ideas which (if any of these can be done and if so how?)

Cheers,
