I could use some help.

I have an *old* Epison MX100 and a newly aquired *old* XT with a multi-
function card. Besides a cable that connects the parallel port and the
printer (DB25? to Centronics?), what do I need to get things printed on the
printer. I would like to see if I can get these to play together before
spending $$ on a new printer. I am using MS-DOS 3.20 and I know a printer has
worked with this computer before.

Also if anybody knows if the print head on this printer is repairable/
replaceable. The third pin from the bottem doesn't fire but it's ok for rough
draft work.

Any pointers or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
please e-mail since this is farily specific and I'm sure not to many people
want the details. 8-)
