What is the maximum length of cable that can be used with the
Annex parallel printer port? Also, what type of cable was used
to make the recomended distance? Flat ribbon, round shielded?

Is there any difference in the spec on length, between the
Annex I and Annex II?

Curious minds would like to know, i.e., the printer can not
always be located where the Annex is. Is the port equiped with
drivers/receivers, such that it can handle 30, maybe 40 feet?
