The 293x parallel interface has a 37 pin connector that is
converted to "standard" centronics with an external cable
HP part number 5061-4001. HP parts says:

5061-4001  114.00   Centronics adapter cable - 37 pin (F) to 36 pin (F)
                                   NO LONGER SUPPLIED

I found one in our warehouse. I will send pin-out offline
unless others want to know.
