In the serverdict there is generaly a procedure known as switchopen or something
similar.  In interactive mode i.e. over the 25pin serial link, type in 
executie<CR>.  This will get you to the interactive mode.
Then, do the following:

turn on your ascii capture option and do

/serverdict load {== ==} forall
You will be looking for an executable array of procedures.  There is one
for each switch setting.  You will find that entry 4 is the centronics
setup code.  In it, there is an explicit open of the 9 pin port.
If you copy this code, and then change the ref from 9 pin to the 25
pin port, and execute it , it might work.  Just a thought.

Cheers
