Apperently your printer has a standard dataproducts parrellel
interface. (The use 50 pin "winchester" connectors or db50, usually
the latter on newer devices.) A cable would not be enough to convert
to centronix parrellel, but the logic should be fairly simple. (A
latch and some miscelanious logic, strobe pulse generation, etc.
Depending on your printer, you may also have to decode control
characters to their individual signal lines for linefeed, formfeed,
etc.) More expensive, but easier, would be to buy a conversion box.
Black Box specializes in such oddities.
