I have the following equipments:

  (1) A Zenith Z-29-A terminal: 
      . It has two RS-232C ports, (one male and one female).
      . It can fully compatible to VT100.
      . I use it to connect to the UNIX system in my school via a modem.

  (2) A daisy wheel printer:
      . It has one parallel port

I try to connect them such that I can "dump" the screen to my printer.
(I use the VT100 print screen command: ESC#7). But I was fail. Is there
anyone know how to connect a parallel port to a serial port? Or, should
I need another "converter" between them? Or I will never success until I
buy a serial printer?
