Assuming that the printer is a LaserWriter there is a small knob next
to the DB25 serial connector to select serial, as opposed to Appletalk,
and the baud rate.  The only way to reliably set the thing is to turn
the knob all the way one way and count clicks back to where you want
it set.  It is labeled.  We've had one connected to various work
stations and VAX's, so there's nothing special about the serial
connection.
