obtain a standard ibm printer cable.   it's a simple plug in.

when radio shack produced their printers, they at least made the ones
with a parallel port have a centronics connector, and so are easy to
use on most any machine that has a parallel port and can connect to
a centronics printer.

the printer engine itself is a ricoh, and very durable and fast.  (for
a daisy)
