Umm, I think you are not going to have much luck. I'm not authoritative,
but I do recall reading that serial printers are basically not supported
by OS X. 

Additionally, if this is not an serial printer but rather an AppleTalk
printer running over serial (ie LocalTalk), then you are equally in
trouble. OS X doesnot support LocalTalk.

I understand that there are LocalTalk/EtherTalk bridges available. I dont
recall who makes them unfortunately.
