After my printer died recently, I was given an old laser printer, an NEC SilentWriter LC890. It powers up when plugged in, and I have the driver for it. What I need is a cable to connect it to my beige G3 running OS 9.2.2.

The back of the printer has three ports, one taking a nine-pin male plug, one taking a 25-pin male plug, and one that looks like a SCSI port. However, according to the specs for the printer, it doesn't have a SCSI port. What it does have, according to the specs, is Centronics I/F, RS-232, RS-422 I/F, and Apple LocalTalk I/F. (I assume "I/F" means "interface.")

So what kind of cable should I be looking for, and where might I find it cheap?

TIA.
