Do you mean the Apple Personal LaserWriter 320 (PLW320)?  (I don't 
remember there being a PL_P_320)  If so, I once had a PLW320, and I'm 
pretty sure it's LocalTalk (aka AppleTalk), not plain GeoPort serial.

If it is LocalTalk, what you really need to use it on a modern 
machine is an LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge.  Then you would be able 
to run AppleTalk over ethernet to access the printer.  To use the 
printer under YDL, you'd have to set up the netatalk package for 
AppleTalk network / printer support.

Here's one example of such a product:
