OK, I'm trying to build myself a hookup for an M8027(LPV11) to run to my
distribution panel.
I've done some reading, and it is clear that this is a Centronics compatible
card, so I have the right one.
Does anyone know the pinout for this device? I'm confused. I know you can
use other printers with this card, and I'm just looking to do raw text to an
old Panasonic dot matrix printer - but I don't know what signal is what.
As usual, any help is appreciated.
TIA

A pinout for the BC27A cable appears (along with a bunch of other
unrelated stuff; search for LPV11) at:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/cable-guide.html
Perhaps this will give enough info on signal identity to help you
build the right cable.

But the description says "This cable is designed to
connect a line printer to any Data Products protocol
parallel port _OTHER_ than the LPV11-SA" (emphasis added).
I can find no LAV11 manuals but there is one LPV-11
manual around:

I think I borrowed it to scan, which is why I cannot
find it right now. It may have a pinout in there.

Except I think that the emphasis needs to be on the "-SA" suffix,
as the section does refer to the LPV11 with no suffix.
As the wiring given is for a dataproducts, the correct hookup for
a centronics interface would have to be worked out, but they are
very similar.

A real manual would, of course, completely obviate the problem.

I've looked at that manual before posting, and it does not have much to work
out from. All the names of the signals are different.

Ready is inverted between the two, I think. Both have the same basic
data transfer signals. Dataproducts has forms handling stuff that's
not in centronics.
Pinouts for both are in various googlable places, including:
http://www.hardwarebook.net/connector/parallel/centronics.html
http://www.hardwarebook.net/connector/parallel/dataproductsdsub50.html
http://www.hardwarebook.net/connector/parallel/decprinter.html
You should be able to compare what's in the LPV11 manual to these and
work out which are which. Then figure out the pin numbering schemes
used in the LPV11 manual.
