Just connect the printer to the modem ports, and they should be fine. The printer is not picky about which port it uses. AppleTalk will work over the modem port, but you need to run OpenTransport (which comes with System 7.5 and later, and may be installed on System 7 and later) in order to switch AppleTalk to the modem port. It is less trouble to just connect the printer to the modem port.
