Yeah, using a gspro, and a 25 pin male-to-female 'printer' cable. What you have to do from there depends on exactly what version of windows you're using... If it's not nt/2000/xp, it's mostly a matter of tracking down some software and running it. If you are using one of the nt-based windows versions, you'll have to do something slightly funny, and I don't remember exactly what it is...
The two most useful programs to have, as far as gspro goes, are gscc and the 'official' hacking tools from datel (that I believe there's a copy of, in the downloads section on the site).
Other than using a gs or similar piece of hardware, there's not much else easy to do...
I believe, if what I found was correct, that model of compaq would almost certainly have at least one isa slot, and with an isa slot, a comms link card, and an old gs, you can have quite a power setup for playstation hacking. If you can find a comms link...
Oh yeah, if you buy a cable for the gspro, it's best to get one not more than about 5 or 6 feet long. Much longer than that, and the gs will continually have connection problems (usually). Though it may seem a bit odd, the best places to get a good cable for this, happen to be large national chain hardware stores...
Also, keep in mind that using a male-to-male or female-to-female converter on the end of a cable will not work for some reason...

It currently only has windows 95. And Quicktime 4.

I'm certain that'll work if you've got the right cable. And you're probably lucky that you don't have a newer version of windows on there...

Well I dont want to hook it up to the computer to hack codes, I want to hook it up so I can get better quality screen shots of the games.

That can be done, with the 'official' hacking utilies. Only real problem is you'd have to hit reset on the screen you want a screenshot of. If you just want to make screenshots, using a gspro isn't the best thing around, but might be the best you'd be able to find easily. If you have an xploder/xplorer/code breaker cart, it could be turned into a caetla that uses the same cable/port as a gspro, but can do things like video ram dumps while the game is going, in the exact position you want it to be in. The only thing that is a problem with that method, is you can't reflash the cart again unless you've got a mod chip instaled.
