printing from HP LaserJet 1100

I have an HP LaserJet 1100 that used to print from a PC that died. How can I get it to print from my new iMac G5? I went to the HP website and couldn't find drivers for any Mac OS. Thanks for any help.

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks, I downloaded the drivers and will try.

Dumb question: what's the best way to connect the printer to my iMac? Printer doesn't have a USB port... (connects via parallel printer cable). Thx

Get a USB-parallel converter cable. Get a brand name one, like Belkin or PowerPrint. Only 50% chance that others will work.
