Should work just fine. I have a Deskjet 500 which is about 7 years old. I
have it installed as a parallel printer on a Linux printer server, and I
can access it remotely using either lpd or Samba.
You will find that the speed is faster if you use it as a parallel
printer.
If you don't see exactly the model number you have in the printer
configuration tool, use the next lowest multiple of 100. You may not get
all your features that way, but you will have a working printer.
