Finally had to dump my old EPS 800 when it stopped working this year.
Sad. Now I have to crank up my old Apple Laserwriter 3500 for black only
printing.
you mean 8500, right?
And now that Apple has ceased to support AppleTalk in
Snow Leopard, when I do upgrade I will have to put together some kind of
Ethernet to parallel contraption to fool the printer, if I've read
correctly.
that printer supports IP printing over Ethernet; this is a bother, but a
small one compared to using a parallel adapter; see the first solution
on this page:

and for information on changing the printer's IP address so it works on
your LAN, here are some references

And I bought two of the darn printers (they are very good) 5 years ago
for $15 each, and a toner cartridge for $100.
this model is not well-regarded by laser printer pros, but as long as
they work, they're a bargain; i use an assortment of old laser printers;
my favorite tabloid model is the LaserJet 4mv
