Of course it works.  The IW2 was the printer of choice for
the IIc during most of the IIc's life until DeskJets and the
needed serial to parallel converters that let to IIc use them
became popular.

Check http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics for the
cable.  If it is not listed, they can make one for you.
