Yes, Localtalk will work on a Plus or SE/30. But Ethernet on an SE/30 will be much faster.
No, you don't need a Postscript printer to print. It's all in what you want to do. You ought to get a Postscript printer, but you don't have to.
The generic LaserWriter 8 driver is good enough for some printers and not good enough for others. Sorry, I don't have a comprehensive list for you. Perhaps someone else does.
If you are pondering a 4/600PS, why not step up to a 16/600PS. I had a 16/600 and I must say it was one of the best lasers I'd ever used. The print quality is better than some of the newest low-cost lasers on the market today. Not in terms of text quality. I'm talking about graphics and half-toning. Text looks good too, but the graphics of the 16/600 are just outstanding. And it's a fast printer too, plus you can connect via Ethernet with the right adapter. I've seen some on EBAY selling for under $100, and toner carts are still sold on the market. I'd buy one for personal use myself if USPS still offered international ocean shipping -- but alas, they chose to stick the knife in x-pats by killing off reasonably priced shipping this past May.
Hope this helps.
