Get an ImageWriter.  I have a few for cheap.

I think the SilenType printer uses an interface similar to a standard
serial port, but it came with it's own interface card.

It is a thermal printer and requires special paper.

I have the Silentype interface card if you decide to buy the printer on
Ebay and it doesn't come with the card.
