Re: Apple LaserWriter 300

I think you are out of luck here. This printer has two things going 
against it: first, it is a serial printer, and serial printing is 
unsupported on OS X (although it can be made to work); second, and most 
significantly for you, this printer is a "quickdraw" printer and 
although the Page Description Language is possibly quite simple it is 
totally undocumented and thus no driver exists for this type of printer 
(at least as far as I know).

If you could somehow capture the data stream coming from your computer 
running OS 9 and going to the printer, you might be on the road to 
reverse engineering the PDL.
