It depends on your current operating system. First you need a copy of the LaserWriter Pro 630 PPD from an older operating system. Then on a 10.11.x system you need to disable SIP and install the PPD in (your hard drive)/Library/Printers. Next go to System Preferences, Printers & Scanners and add a new printer. Choose the IP address of your printer, the line printer protocol (LPD), click on the Use line and Select Software. Your LaserWriter should then be in the Printer Software list that opens.

Somewhere between 10.6.x and 10.11.x the location of the PPD’s changed and I’m not sure when.

I have a couple too! Do you know of a method to connect them to a modern Mac? (USB)

Like others, I have a couple of old LaserWriters, a IIntx and IInt. The ntx needs the a feed roller replacement and the nt needs the DC controller IIRC. Too heavy and too and hard to ship. Love to give them away if you (or anyone else) can arrange pickup in Connecticut. --glen
