But peecee-style parallel ports are not x86-specific; I've got plenty
of SPARCstations with basically-PC-compatible parallel ports.
You may dislike them; you may even dislike them because PCs
popularized them. But it's not fair to imply that they are a PC-only
thing.
Centronics-style parallel ports existed before the PC.
Also, you could alway get/make a serial to parallel converter to connect
the printer to an RS-232C compatible serial port.

I have it connected to my PC with a standard printer
cable.
Well, that won't work for me since I don't use pee seas. (This is
