Re: Centronics adapter cable wiring reversed?

Thanks, I'll leave the cable as is.
The computer was not seeing the retroprinter attached as a printer, so hopefully it was just the shorted pin 1 and 2, or I have a system that needs 5V on pins 13.

Cheers,
Phil

Centronics adapter cable wiring reversed?

The adapter cable I have has pins 1 to 18 wired to pins 1 to 18 alike but pins 19 to 36 are reversed. 19 goes to 36 and alike.
Is this correct or do I have a cable wired incorrectly.
Pins 1 and 2 were shorted at the Pi end of the cable as well with a loose strand from pin 2.

Any info would be ...
