Yes, I want to connected an OKIDATA Microline82A to the PDP8/e.
Looking at the LA180 manual's description of the LC8-P interface, it
is pretty close to Centronics. I expect it is more than just a cable,
though, because there is also an OMNIBUS Centronics printer interface
board (LS8-E). That schematic is on bitsavers.
I also have an LE8-E (M841), but that only provides 7 data bits to the printer.

It's not the other way, it's the same way ;-) (attatching a Centronics/PC
printer to a DEC interface)
I am looking for schematics or any documentation for the LA180
interface for the PDP8/e. A scan would be great. I want to see if I
can use it to interface to a Centronics interface printer.
I don't have the schematics (I do have an LC8-P somewhere), but I
remember back in the day, people wanted to go the other way - feed a
PC printer w/Centronics interface from a DEC interface.
