2. IEEE 1284 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1284

   An IEEE 1284 36-pin male micro ribbon printer cable connection. The computer side normally uses a DB-25 port instead of this connector. IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.

3. Parallel port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port

   The original IBM parallel printer adapter for the IBM PC of 1981 was designed to support limited bidirectionality, with 8 lines of data output and 4 lines of data input. [citation needed] This allowed the port to be used for other purposes, not just output to a printer. This was accomplished by allowing the data lines to be written to by ...

   In some cases, though, the host adapter end of the cable would use a different connector. For example, in the Sun 260 series chassis (used for the Sun 3/260 and Sun 4/260 computers), the connector was the same 3-row 96-pin connector used to attach peripheral cards to the VMEbus backplane .

6. Computer port (hardware) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_port_(hardware)

   Computer ports in common use cover a wide variety of shapes such as round (PS/2, etc.), rectangular (FireWire, etc.), square (Telephone plug), trapezoidal (D-Sub — the old printer port was a DB-25), etc. There is some standardization to physical properties and function.

7. Printer cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_cable

   Printer cable refers to the cable that carries data between a computer and a printer. There are many different types of cables, for example: Serial: RS-232, EIA-422; Parallel; FireWire; USB; Parallel port printers have been slowly phased out, and are now difficult to find for the most part, being considered as an obsolete legacy port on most ...
