Model 12 <-> Okidata 600e

I've hooked a HPLJ3 up to an old mod 16 (same chassis at mod 12) IIRC the
RS supplied printer cable was a 34-pin card edge on one end, ribbon cable,
then the centronics style 36 pin at the other. I would bet though that
he's hooked upo to the serial port. mod 12's and 16's used DB25F
connections for their serial.
