Yes--and IIRC, it used a 50-conductor connection as well.  We had some
big CDC OEM line printers in the mid 1980s that could be configured for
either interface.  Before that, in about 1975 we had a Diablo dot-matrix
printer (a strange, very loud beast) that used the DP interface.   (ISTR
that it also used three Rockwell PPS-8s).  Memory grows dim with each
passing year.
