Canon ink jet work with a device w/ a DB9 port?
I have a Canon i560 ink jet printer (parallel port) that I want to output from a piece of test equipment that has a DB9 serial port that uses either the Postscript or Epson printer protocols.
Other than the correct cable, would/could this work?Copyright protection & Intellectual property my ass. All you elitists want is more money & power. Enough is enough!

The best way I would know how to find out would be to try. Pinouts for the DB9 & DB25 will give you the needed info for a cable if you prefer to make it yourself.

It's not really worth the time. It was just a quick idea.

Serial Data to Parallel
Serial Data sent to a Parallel Data port will not work regardless of the the cable pinout. The method of communication is completely different. There are conversion devices that will allow serial printer data to be CONVERTED into generic printer parallel data. This type of thing may work for you.
They cost about 50 bucks and you will also probably need a DB9 Female to DB25 Male Serial cable to connect to it.
Good Luck with it.
