It's been so long since I've had to do this, so I've forgotten how to set it up. I tried downloading Apple Printer Utility 2.2 and Laserwriter 8.6.1, but they didn't seem to help. Does anyone have the disks for this printer or have a suggestion on what to do to set it up? The chooser, of course doesn't show it, only the existing printers in the Appletalk zone.

You'll have to run LocalTalk Bridge to be able to see a printer connected
to your LocalTalk port while your AppleTalk control panel is set to
"Ethernet." Or change your AppleTalk control panel.
