Yes. The ones I've seen were supplied with Apple DOS 3.3, but they will of
course run ProDOS if you have the disks.
Apparently the ][e uses a serial printer. Perhaps I
should have looked
around
for that. It uses a wierd PS/2-like connector to
communicate with the
thing.
Out of the box, an Apple //e didn't have a printer port fitted. That would
be an add-on. Most common option in my experience is a parallel card,
usually fitted to slot #1, but there's no reason you could use a serial
card (typically in slot #2) instead.
