	I don't know about switching the printer from serial to parallel,
but if you are going to have a real long Parallel Cable beware:

	The propagation delay on the 'real long' cable may cause
garbled data on your printer. (I don't know what the max length is)
but because the Prop. delay is not constant and the longer the cable
the more 'pronounced' it can be (because all bits may not arrive at
the same time).......

			just FYI....
