Yes!

:    2. If so, what all is needed?

A serial cable if the printer has a serial port or a
parallel interface card if you want/must connect your
gs to the parallel port (about 4 times faster than
the serial connection). Check Sequential Systems
(http://www.sequential.com/) for one.

Furthermore you will need a set of drivers. You can
choose between Independence from Seven Hills
(http://www.nettally.com/shss/IIGS/IN.HTM) (B&W)
or Harmonie from WestCode (http://www.westcodesoft.com/)
which supports color.

Further information can be requested from Joe Kohn
(http://www.crl.com/~joko/ssii.html, email joko@crl.com)
who has written a great article about HP printers in his
SSII magazine. He also sells most of the Westcode stuff.

                          Happy printing!
