no one spoke of printer cables.
Serial connectors are 9 pin, parallel cables are 25 pin. while old style
printer cables use 25 pin as well, there is no, or not to my personal
experience a 9 pin connector at all for those printer cables.
as a side note allot of external speech synthesizer hardware used 25 pin
connectors. and lpt port allocations as well.

Yes, It requires a 9 pin to 25 pin serial port connector cable. Not a
serial port to parallel port cable that you referenced. A serial to
parallel cable would be somewhat custom and likely expensive, since it
would have to contain active electronics to convert serial protocol to
parallel protocol.
Also, the old style 25 pin serial cable and the printer cable have opposite
connector genders. The serial cable has a female connector and the printer
cable has a male connector.
