Fg Adapter

[ding5550123]

I just got an old printer from my neighbor. on the back it has a poer wider than a parrel with "FG" beside. IBM's help thing says that's what the port is. I was wondering if there was a fg to parrelell adapter, or an fg cable i can get. The printer powrs on and i can control the settings. I don't think it has a ribbon (it's an old dor matrix, a panasonic KX P2123 24 pin printer)

I'm guessing it's a centronics connection.

My recommendation is the printer cable would cost more than what the printer is worth.
You don't even know if it will print.
Sounds like you may have more problems than you can handle.
Get a new printer. Check this link out.

that's it

I powered it on and performed a test print, it works (after taking 20 min to load because of a jammed paper scrap)
