I'm sure someone else can help better than I can, but my guess is you may
need to go in search of a used one that will work with OS9.
Do you by chance have any PDF creator software on the iMac? Perhaps you
could print to PDF, then transfer the PDF to a newer computer (assuming you
have one) and print the PDF from there...

Greetings from western Canada,
I need to use some software that is on my 1999 iMac running OS9 that I can
not install on a newer Mac. However I do not have a printer that will work
for this machine & the computer store just laughed at me when I asked if
they had one. Any leads as to where I can buy one or even what kind to look
for?
tia, and my apologies if this doesn't qualify as Vintage.

A printer may not have an old Mac driver but a lot of network printers will
work over IP using the Apple LaserWriter driver.

Check your local Goodwill, eBay or other thrift store for one of the
older HP DeskJets with a USB connection. If you're really in a pinch
and can't find one, I still have one (HP DeskJet 648C) that I could
easily part with. However, the print quality looks like 1999 inkjet.
