There is a company called SoftStyle in Hawaii that specializes in interface
boards and printer drivers for using non-Apple printers on the Mac. They made
interfaces for Epson, Toshiba, and HP printers, among others. Although I 
don't have their phone # handy, they have advertised in MacWorld/MacUser.
 
Another possible source of information is Orange Micro. They make a 
serial/parallel converter/cable & might be able to help out.
