But they did release a number of Postscript-language Personal LaserWriter models — the PLW 4/600, for example. I have printed to a 4/600 via a bridge daily for years from OSX. It needs the RAM upgraded to 6MB to work well, but it has never failed.
For big jobs I use a 12/640, but the nice thing about the 4/600 is the size, silence and low energy consumption.

I know what you mean. My 16/600PS is my main printer. When I got mine I was lucky to also score an AppleTalk<->Ethernet adapter, so it sits nicely on my network for all my machines to use. Was a "bit of fun" getting the IP address changed with no console on the printer, but I got it sorted out (see http://retromaccast.ning.com/profiles/blogs/old-printers-can-be-a-pain for the details) in the end.
