Get an AsantePrint made by (who else?) Asante. It's an ethernet to
LocalTalk converter. You plug the printer's serial cable into it and
out the other end an RJ45. Kind of like a JetDirect card for Apple
printers. We're using one now on a LaserWriter 4/600 that doesn't come
with a built-in network card like our LaserWriter 16/600, or Pro 630, etc.

There used to be a number of other companies that made a similar
product. You can see this product at Asante's website
