Specifically non-USB or Firewire cables. I have an old laserprinter, in all its parallel-port-requiring goodness, that I need to use and the machine it needs to be connected to doesn’t have a full-sized parallel port. So I need a way to connect the small DB25 HD15 to either a full sized DB25 or perhaps I can find a cable with a small DB 25 HD15 on one end and the proprietary HP connector on the other. Apparently, what I seek is a “half-pitch parallel” connector. And from what I can find, a gender/size-changer that takes the full-sized DB25 to its smaller counterpart is my best (only?) chance. So a female HD15/female DB25 it is.
