Resurrecting an old HP 500

Our office has an old HP DesignJet 500 hooked up to a pc via a parallel port. Consequently, no one can use it, except via Acrobat, and except for the person who logs in to this machine. I have been asserting to our IT director that this machine can be networked via AppleTalk (since I did something similar about a decade ago for a school I consulted with.) However, our IT Director seems to have no idea about how to implement it.

I scoured the HP site for help with this, but came up blank. So I was wondering if there was anyone on these forums who could point me to a link that I could forward to our IT Director so that this machine will no longer be a $2000 doorstop?
