Hi,

does anyone have pinout for this cable ? I have pinout for LPRINT III, maybe they are the same ?

I guess this is the Spectrum Kempston Centronics cable?

All the ones I have seen are just a straight lead and it's the same used on most other interfaces - such as those for the QL - I think the LPRINT III cable will be the same.

Thanks !

Yes, that's the one.
I have the interfaces but no cables. I will make the one for the LPRINT III and try it on the Kempston.

The report is coming soon...

DONE !

Finally I got the cable and connectors from China ($ 8.31 total). After I inspected the GND pins on interfaces for orientation, there was no problem to properly connect the flat cable and connectors.

I tested it on the old Samsung SP-0912 dot matrix printer- works as a charm :)
