No, I don't think so. The print pack thingies (as well as the GDT
powerprint thingies) converted Appletalk into parallel. They probably
had a processor inside (I don't want to take mine apart to find out),
and you would have to write a whole bunch of code to reformat the
commands and pass the bits on.

Better to find one on the used market.
