I hope someone can help me out...I'm having cable problems again.  I
want to connect my Mac Plus to a QMS PS 810 LaserPrinter and I know
relatively little about AppleTalk.

The QMS PS 810 comes with a serial port, a parallel port, and a DB-9
AppleTalk port.  Is there any way (or cable) I can connect my Plus to
this using anything but AppleTalk (or Tops) connectors?  The
laserprinter's manual suggests using AppleTalk, but I assume they think
this printer will be used by a network, rather than stand-alone as in my
case.  As an alternative, does anyone know if (and how) PostScript files
could be sent through the serial port from within a program...I could
always print to disk and use a terminal program but I want to know if I
can reroute Post Script output meant for the AppleTalk port to the Modem
Port.  Thanx in advance!
