I don't know if this will help but here goes....

One of our customers reported the leaving pin 14 connected causes extra
linefeeds on (?epsons, I think).

And another:
	If you want to connect a printer to the Amiga parallel 
	port (25 pin female) and have an IBM PC parallel cable
	to Centronics (36 pin) cable, make the following 25 pin
	female to female cable:

		Amiga side		IBM Cable side
		-------------		--------------
		1-13			1-13
		14-16	(cut)
		17-22			17-22
		23	(cut)
		24			24
		25	connect over to 16

	Now arrange as follows:

	  +---+
	  |   |
	  +---+
	+-------+				    +---------+
	| Amiga |> >==new cable==< <==IBM cable==[ [| Printer |
	+-------+				    +---------+

Good Luck!
