Serial printer cable

    Just got me a Shuttle and it never occurred to me that it has no printer port. Shuttle list a serial printer cable in their accessories list but I'm wondering is this a fairly standard cable?

    Would this one do me?

    Due to lack of space around my desk my printer only comes down off the shelf once in a blue moon when I really need something down on paper. Now that I have so much more desk space I might actually start using it a bit again.

    milltown..
    usb printing has huge benefits over the old parallel/serial method..

    ya that cable would do the trick though

    Thanks Strat. For the amount of use it gets I think the €10 cable will be the best option for me.
