Yes, you will need a USB PCI card. Your 800 doesn't have a USB port? 
There are USB->serial adapters that may work, to attach serial 
printers to USB-only Macs that may work. OTOH, I've seen some decent 
USB printers for prices not much higher than the adapter.

I have no problems printing to an Epson 750 via USB from my 8500/G4 
in 10.2.1 using an OrangeMicro FW/USB combo card. My impression over 
the years is that the OrangeMicro cards are among the most reliable 
combo cards, especially for USB.

You can also use pretty much any USB card that is listed as OHCI 
compliant, including generic CompUSA-quality stuff. I use a cheap 
($20) CompUSA combo card in my Beige G3 w/ 10.2.1. OTOH, the same 
card would not work well in a 7500 under any OS, so YMMV.
