I can not get my Diablo 630 RO to print with my A1000.  I'm afraid I don't
know much about hardware.  I have a cable with pins 1-8, 10-13, and 17-25.
The pins don't switch around. i.e. pin 1 at one end goes to pin 1 on the other
end.  How do I rewire this cable so I can print?  Using this cable I can not
even get garbage from the printer.
