Hmmn, I don't think so on this model. You can on an Apple Personal
LaserWriter NTR which is the only one which had a parallel port built
in. Basically the NTR is a re-badged HP printer I think.

Some other Apple laserwriters have PC parallel ports in them too, but
you need to take the case off to get to them.

Laserwriter.html
