Hi,

   This message ended up bounced back to me today. I don't know if it's
been answered yet.

   I looked around and found thism which *might* be the proper cable
(under
SCSI cables no less):

There's a 3 foot cable as well:

   I think this is the correct cable. The Compaq site lists the LaserJet
2200dtn printer (I assume a pretty recent model) as having a IEEE-1284
complient parallel port, but according to

a2zcables.filereader?3d3b81710fbb0c84271c424d361d0689+EN/catalogs/1058

This spec seems to not only cover Centronics port types (there's
apparently also a 36-pin version), but also DB port types (like a PC
parallel port)
