sure - I think any of Apple's printers will do.  FOr instance, I have an
old LaserWriter Plus connected to my Mac and IIGSs - everything has access
to it via a very inexpensive phone net/local talk network.  To do this
with an Imagewriter II, you'd need a network card (call Sequential Systems
800 759 4549 - they make two different cards for this).  I know it will
NOT work with the old Imagewriter I or.. um.. the Laserwriter LS I think. 
Look for any printer that supports AppleTalk.

Other options are printers that have Appletalk AND serial connectors...

Switch boxes that allow you to punch a button and select which computer
has access to the printer..

or a host ofother ideas..
