Printer adapter LPT -> ?

ad3k · Jul 25, 2012, 03:12 AM

I am looking for an adapter to go from LPT to this?

If anyone could help me name this guy I would much appreciate it!

IEEE 1284 or, also, known as Centronics parallel port

EDIT: That is the female side.

Standard parallel port printer cable should do it:

Belkin Model F2A032-06 6 ft. Printer Parallel Cabl...

And, if, you do not have a DB-25 connector or parallel port on the computer you are using... you can use a centronics to usb adapter cable.

The port on the printer is actually the Female (Centronics 36 pin connectors look weird)

Female- has clips, Male- has tabs

From the NewEgg listing:

Connector on First End: 1 x 25-pin DB-25 Male
Connector on Second End: 1 x 36-pin Centronics Male Printer

What you are describing is an extension cable male 36 pin centronics to 36 pin female > C2G / Cables to Go 02677 Centronics 36 Male/Female Extension Cable, Beige (6 Feet/1.82 Meters)

Ok this is old printer

and new one is in first post. Wires go through wall so I'm stuck?

The first cable I showed you plus a Female/Female gender changer will allow you to use that cable setup:

PPA 7406D 25pin Female to 25pin Female Adapter

Here's the same thing (different brand):
StarTech GC25SF DB25 Slimline Gender Changer F/F
