For a few dollars, you can connect those older printers to your company's workstations without finding an expensive work around. Insert the serial cable from the printer into the serial end of the adapter. Ensure that the connection is secure, and the mounting screws on the serial plug are fastened to the holes on the serial port of the adapter.

Step 3 Insert the serial cable from the printer into the serial end of the adapter. It will register the printer on the USB port. Most cables with db25 connectors on both ends will be SERIAL cables, because that's what rs used before the pc started using the nine pin connectors instead.
Serial db25 csbles are indeed a swampland of non-standard-ness, with the full 25 wire straight through cable bring quite rare. I guess the word "obviously" is your hotbutton. If you don't want to be corrected don't post incorrect statements.
Where is the 'hostility'? All I did was correct you, which, truth be told, is my job. Abomination or not it worked. I can't use bold or italics on my phone beause there's no toolbuttons so I have to use CAPS for emphasis.
Don't be so sensitive. Not really. I'm surprised you didn't know; You get the full suite of tools when you hit the reply button instead of using quickreply.
In regards to our unpleasant first encounter; I can give you my life story, but it basically boils down to me developing a tendency to be a bit cynical.
So I'm sorry for overreacting. I'll try not to view your enthusiastic emphasising as demeaning from henceforth. Just be aware that your conduct might come across as a little crass to some folk. In case my heaping box of spare cables yields nothing usually the case , I went scrounging on ebay and found this one. I think the cable i'm after is referred to as "straight-through"?
Im also a little concerned the added wire resistance might muddle up the signal. Currently I have ohm resistors on the output pins. Should I measure pin-to-pin resistance and compensate? Surely if all you want to do is effectively move the serial connector from your PC back plane to be 2m or whatever nearer the printer, so you can plug the standard parallel cable into that, there must be no jiggery-pokery of the conductors in the cable.
It must be straight through, and all that it must do is be a gender bender, so the far end of the new cable is the same gender as the PC, so that the printer cable can plug in. I have been a forum member since so I know what the toolbuttons look like because I use them on my computer but as I said they don't exist on my phone. FYI, the cable you linked "this one" is a SERIAL printer cable and your post Title is "LPT parallel printer cable" which , not to be cliche is "apples" and "oranges" because the only thing those two cables have in common is the word "printer" in their name.
Everything else about them is different. Zapro's reply the first reply to your post was correct. He stated that the typical printer cable meaning the type of cable described by your post title has a DB25 at one end and a Centronics connector at the other end. The serial printer cable you just linked is NOT the cable described by your post titile because they are ad different as a prop plane vs a jet plane.
They might both have wings and fly but other than that they are very different, so now would be a good time for you to set the record straight. Did we waste all that time talking about the standard LPT Parallel Printer cable described in your post title?
Is this entire thread about a straight through serial cable instead of s printer cable because you need an extension for the DB25 printer output connector on your computer?
