The Okimate 10 uses a serial connection designed for computers without a
parallel port, such as the Commodore. There are interface cables made to
allow such a computer to communicate to a printer with a standard centronics
connector. However, I have never seen a way to do it the other way around
(but such a beast may exist, FAIK). A more likely scenario is to find an
adaptor to allow the Okimate to interface with a PC's serial port.
