I'd guess you could use the same serial port with a laser printer that you
use with your Imagewriter.  I know that the LaserWriter II has a serial port;
it's provided primarily for hookup to non-Apple equipment.  For example, the
dorm across the street has a 386-based server driving Mac SEs and PS/2 50s on
Ethernet.  A LaserWriter IINT is hooked up through the serial port.  (You
can't expect anything 386 to have AppleTalk, can you? :-) )  Of course the
system crawls at 9600 baud (AppleTalk works at about 200K baud), but it does
work.  Software should be anything that works with the IIe, such as 
"Publish-It!" (either version?).
