We have a LJ-III that we would like to connect to a 400s server using
a parallel connection. It is not clear to me from the documentation
how this should be done, so I have several questions:

	- The printer manual mentions a cable with a 36 pin connector
	at the printer end and a 25 pin connector at the computer end.
	The 400s has a connector marked "parallel" which I assume is
	the correct one. Can anybody confirm this? And if this is
	correct, what is the limit on cable length?

	- What devices need to be created? Where is the documentation
	for operation of parallel interfaces?

	- What is a suitable printer model to use?
