Does someone know the pinout for the parallel port on Brother MP-21C Mobile Printer
https://web.archive.org/web/20001018164224/ht … p21c/index.html
I bought the printer long time ago and lost the PCMCIA interface card.
I would like to find a cable for the proprietary parallel port connector.
Hello. I recently bought the PCMCIA card and the cable for 1.5€ not knowing what it was for. Searching around I found this thread and some indications that it can only be used for that specific printer. I would be happy to help you with some info, but as the conenctor in the PCMCIA end is also a special connector I dont know if I can make a meaningfull pinout out of it.
Let me know if I can help you make something out of it

Thanks! I think the pinout should match DB25 with one pin to provide power to the printer (because the printer doesn't use AC adapter if connected to this PCMCIA card)
Though I am not sure how to identify the pins:
