I'm pretty sure all you're gonna need is the right cable and a driver.  I've
seen Mac drivers for the Laserjet III on Applelink.  I contacted HP about 
drivers for a Laserjet II - they don't support it (at least not for the Macs),
but you can call them and they'll send you the driver for free or very cheap.
Then you can just connect the printer for he price of the cable, and you're
set.  I've never actually tried to connect a laserjet II, so I could be
wrong.  I don't have HP's number handy - look in the manual, or I think it's
in a file containing 800 numbers on sumex.  Email me back if you can't find it
and I'll see if I can dig it up.
