You can dirrect connect the laserwriter to any Mac.  I don't know what cable
you need (I think it is a standard printer cable though), but you have to
switch the switch on the laserwriter (I don't have one, so I don't know it
says, I think it is the middle position).  There is an article in MacWorld
that tells how to do it (I think it is in a question and answer section).  I
will try and find it, but you might also try and look for it as I am not too
good at finding back articles.  I would guess that all you have to do in the
chooser is select the LaserWriter and the right port and make sure that
AppleTalk is off (if you don't have AppleTalk).
