Serial and USB do not constitute the entire gamut of modern printers. Any
printer with Postscript and ethernet will support just about any Mac from
about System 7 onwards.

Most of these printers are heavy duty (rated in thousands of pages per
month) and designed for office use. New, they will probably be more than you
are prepared to spend, but second-hand is a different story.  Laser printers
which cost thousands when new can be had for under $200.  Your people will
wear out before these industrial-strength machines do.
