As far as I know, you cannot use a standard generic IBM type
parallel port connector to connect a printer to the 1000.  I tried
this with my new Citizen GSX 140, and every line had an extra
line feed in it, even when the computer was off.  As soon as I disconnected
the cable, the extra LF's went away.  I called the place I ordered the
printer from, and they told me that they did have a cable for sale 
for the 1000 with a little note attached saying it was for the 1000
ONLY.  I purchased the cable and now everything is working just fine.
