I think so. Attach the printer to COM2 (as COM1 might be used by
a modem.) Then boot the PC and type
MODE lpt1=com2:9600,8,n,1

I can't remember if the n comes before the 8 or not, but it's this or
that.

Then the printer output should be directed to the imagewriter.

Disclaimer: I've not actually tried this, but I think it'll work.
