Hi. I'm trying to print from an iMac (native OS9) to an HP InkJet 3600n. I looked up the driver online, and it looks like there isn't one available for OS9. Is there anything I can do, or am I just out of luck?

I seriously doubt if you will find OS 9 drivers for that printer - OS9 is just too old now

If it speaks PostScript, you should be able to print to it using the LaserWriter 8.x driver (the standard PostScript driver for Mac OS 9)

Is the N in HP 3600n for network, as there may be a network driver out there.

Did a look around, There were no network drivers for the 3600 series
for OS 9 , Only drivers for OS 10. There are OS 9 drivers for 5600's.
You could network throw a PC or look for another printer. Epsons and
Brothers still archive OS 9 drivers. I use them and Apple laser Printers.
