Re: Canon PJ-1080A

Wow. Not that anyone would suspect it, but you are not kidding. Based on those resources, here is my first stab at what an adaptor would look like. XX means leave unconnected. "PC parport" means a DB25 female port that you could plug PC printers into.

*Lisa PC*
*par- par-*
*port port Remarks*
*---- ---- -------*

• 1 - 18 GND*
• 2 - 19 GND*
• 3 - XX {Lisa R/W, always W for printer}*
• 4 - 20 GND*
• 5 - 2 DATA_0*
• 6 - 3 DATA_1*
• 7 - XX {Lisa unused, not connected}*
• 8 - 4 DATA_2*
• 9 - 21 GND*
• 10 - 22 GND*
• 11 - 7 DATA_5*
• 12 - 8 DATA_6*
• 13 - 9 DATA_7*
• 14 - 23 GND*
• 15 - 1 /STROBE*
• 16 - 11 /BUSY (may need to be inverted!)*
• 17 - XX {Lisa CMD, unused by printer}*
• 18 - XX {Lisa parity, unused by printer}*
• 19 - 18 {Lisa open cable detect, must be low; tie to ground*}*
• 20 - 24 GND*
• 21 - 16 /RESET (may need to be inverted!)*
• 22 - 5 DATA_3*
• 23 - 6 DATA_4*
• 24 - 25 GND*
• 25 - 15 {Lisa /CHK printer fault (may need to be inverted!)}*
• IDEFile uses this trick.
