Hi, I think your cable is serial ! The printer port on a pc is the parallel port. The serial port on pc has but 9 pins. You then definitively need an adapter from 25 to 9 pins Now you must see for the 'sex' of the connectors (male or female)
Lastly, but more tricky, is the cable 'sraight' or 'crossed' Goods luck T. jacobson > > The cable has a round 8-pin plug on one end, which connects > to the SW2400, > and a 25-pin plug on the other end, which connects to a > socket on the back > of my Dell that has a little icon on it that looks something like a > printer.
