Tom, I'm connected directly to the typesetter's centronics port. I don't have a switch box connected between it and my Amiga 2000. I'm using a SCSI laser printer for my plain paper drafts. If I need a dot-matrix printer, I've got two of them connected to an A1000 which uses a switchbox with no problems. I can't understand why I have these parallel problems. I have the #14 pin yanked since it has +5 volts and the VT4300P's #14 is a ground. All the other pinouts look correct. Here are the pinouts for the Amiga 2000 and the Varityper 4300P imager. Name Amiga Description Varityper Description 1 Strobe Strobe Data Strobe 2 D0 Data Bit 0 Data 1 3 D1 Data Bit 1 Data 2 4 D2 Data Bit 2 Data 3 5 D3 Data Bit 3 Data 4 6 D4 Data Bit 4 Data 5 7 D5 Data Bit 5 Data 6 8 D6 Data Bit 6 Data 7 9 D7 Data Bit 7 Data 8 10 ACK Acknowledge Acknowledge 11 Busy Busy Busy 12 Pout Paper Out Paper Error 13 SEL Select Select 14 +5V Pullup Ground (this pin disconnected) 15 NC No connection not listed on pin-out sheet 16 RESET RESET not listed on pin-out sheet 17 GND signal ground not listed on pin-out sheet 18 GND signal ground not listed on pin-out sheet 19-25 GND signal ground 19-29 Twisted Pair Ground 31 Iprime not on sheet Iprime* (Active low) 32 Fault not on sheet Fault* (Active low) So basically they're same right? A standard centronics cable minus pin 14 should do the trick, am I right or am I wrong? chris ACCU-TYPE & GRAPHICS (a service bureau)
