Nope.  There may be multiple versions of the ImageWriter II (mainly
differing in the colour of the case), but they all work in the same
way.  They all have a built-in serial port, and can accept an option
card that allows them to be connected to a LocalTalk network.

If this card is installed and enabled, the serial port becomes a
LocalTalk port.  A DIP switch in the printer can be used to enable or
disable the card as required, or it can be removed again to return the
printer to serial-only mode.
