Setting up printing in the Mac OS
To print from the PC environment on a printer connected to the computer’s
printer port or other network connection, you need to select a printer in the
Mac OS Chooser and set up the PC Print Spooler software. Follow these steps;

Serial and Parallel Card, see the manual that came with that card for
instructions on how to print from the PC environment.

onscreen help that came with your computer.
