Quietjet to MAC?

I want to connect an HP Quietjet printer to a MAC to print out ASCII files
generated by a simple editor, such as the one supplied with WORKS. Does
anyone know if this can be done? Can I connect it up through the centronix
port on the printer, or do I have to go serial?  The printer manual says that
I can configure the plotter drivers using some kind of a program that HP 
supplies, but I am skeptical. I need a reliable printer connection.

Thanks in advance,

Tom K.
