	I had to take a trip in the wayback machine for this one. The
12845-60006 is a cable that connects the 2631A with the 12845-60005
I/O card on the HP1000 (E/F Series). This is a parallel card, so it's
no wonder you can't find the baud rate, parity etc.

	I think you can convert this to RS-232, but it will probably
be cheaper/easier to buy a whole new printer. The parts you will need are:

	02631-60376 $420   - RS232 PCA 
           -or-
	02631-69376 $290   - Remarketed 02631-60376

	02631-60088 $210   - The front panel with the baud rate select,
			     parity etc.

	02631-60012 $125   - PCA to RS232 cable adaptor

So, for $755 (or $625 if you choose the remarketed PCA), you can have
a 10 year old 2400 baud printer.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a sales rep nor was the price list I looked at the
	    most recent one. I suggest you contact your sales rep for
	    further info.
