According to the Ports that model has available:

You would have to find a Legacy Printer that uses Geoport serial ports or possibly one that has and uses Ethernet, and compatible software.

Many office network printers are Ethernet capable.

If you have another Mac with a printer, you might be able to get something like HandyPrint.app to work. But that is a big maybe...

Pretty simple, vintage printer for a vintage Mac. That machine is from the late 90's, so find a printer that is of the same age and it'll work.

Would a networked printer work? If they had one on their home network and shared by a computer?

That was included as one of my suggestions and should possibly work.
