Most pre-USB printers used a parallel interface rather than a serial one, with a male DB-25 connector on the computer and a female Centronics connector on the printer (serial ports are DB-25 female on both) ; exceptions are HP laser printers and most pen plotters. Does his machine have a parallel printer port as well as DB-9/DB-25 serial ports? -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
