Serial To usb printing with Leopard

[DrivenNails]

I recently got a Personal Laserwriter 300 from my grandma with a whole full toner cartridge. I got a serial to usb adapter and wondering how to hook it up with leopard, I think it has something to do with appletalk. I am really a n00b with this. I really don't know anything about appletalk at all.

any help? thanks.

I don't have that printer, but I'm pretty certain that it won't work with OS X, because it is a quickdraw printer. The last driver Apple made for that was in MacOS 7.6 (~1996).
All Mac OS X printing is based on postscript, so someone would have to write a driver that converts from postscript to quickdraw.
