NO. According to Apple's own technical notes, the Personal
Laserwriter 300 has no support for non-Macintosh machines. The
connection to the printer is via a serial cable. There are no drivers
for the Windows O/S.

In addition, this printer is ONLY supported on a Mac with a serial
port. It will NOT work with any of the "USB to serial" converters
that are on the market, so you will not get it to work with an iMac
or new PowerMac. It may work with one of the add-on serial ports (I
think it was called the gPort), but I have not tested this!
