In principle - yes.

What interfaces does the LW 4/600 have? Ethernet? RS422/Localtalk?

If the former, you can set up Netatalk and print via pap. If the latter,
you can either get a hardware laserwriter bridge and continue like above,
or you can attach the printer via RS422 (that would be 19k2 bps, most
likely) and set up a lpd printer queue. Examples should be in the mailing
list archives (best accessible via groups.google.com).

Either way, it's a bit of work, but feasible.
