There is a commercial utility called MacPrint which may solve your problem.
MacPrint is a package that provides you with many printer drivers for non
Apple printers. You will probably just have to look on the box and see if your
printer is one of those that it supports.  Also included with the software is
a Mac printer port to IBM Serial port cable that you can use with your
printer.  The package sells for around $60 in the U.S.  If this doesn't work
there is a more expensive program called Freedom of Press which is primarily a
postscript emulator, but it includes the necessary drivers for many printers
