Interesting idea , but the driver software for the printer has no idea of
how to use the printer thru a SCSI port.
An adapter that goes from ether net to the parallel printer would have a
better chance of working. But , say on an HP inkjet printer , again I think
a lack  of a driver would be the problem.
