2. See what the cheapest network-enabled Postscript laser printer you can buy is. "Cheap" home network printers don't offer Appletalk anymore, but office models do. (The Brother HL6050DN does, for instance.) If it's worth, oh, $350 or so, to print from your old system that's your "new" option. Or of course you could always find a used one. The old postscript-equipped HP 4-series network models are well regarded, if getting extremely long in the tooth.

The HP2100 is newer, has a slightly smaller footprint and is (or was) available for well under $100. It probably is not as ruggedly built as the Laserjet 4 and 4Plus, but is also about a decade newer. It has a removable postscript module (so get one with it installed) and LocalTalk is built in. There are (or were) also Ethernet expansion cards including 10/100 available for under $20.
