Got this from my Stepdad, the place he works replaced it with something newer. Page count is 101,827. Stock 8 MB of RAM. I connected it via one of the AAUI adapters I already own. I'm out of network ports without venturing into the dreaded basement to find another switch, so there's no network cable plugged in at the moment. I've tested it and it works fine both via AppleTalk on Macs running OS 9.2.2 and 10.4.11, and via IP printing from 10.8.1. It needs some cleaning; but it doesn't make any strange noises.
I plan on putting it on a milk crate near where it's sitting now, since I'm running out of space in that room. (I already have a Brother HL-5250DN I've owned since new, and a Brother MFC-8460N that I got for $12.99 at a thrift shop...) The 8460 would replace the 5250 if it duplexed. Since it doesn't I had two printers, one that scans and copies, and one that prints on both sides (and has a very low page count). Now the LaserWriter will be there if I want to print from something running less than OS 9. It may get sold, since I don't know how common that'll be, and I intend to move the LocalTalk card from the ImageWriter LQ to one of the ImageWriter IIs since thre only thing I really imagine wanting to print from an old Mac would be banners...
Anyway, here it is. Sorry for the lousy cell phone picture!
