Got five Pentax PocketJet II printers from eBay and trying to figure out how to build interface cable for these. What is this connector on interface?
It looks like some propriety 25 pin parallel cable. Opened up one of these and seems pin assignment goes from right 1 to left 25 like in centronics DB25 ports. Pins are on 0.8mm pitch so it makes with 25 pin 20mm wide. On the manual it says that connector has auto select between serial and parallel so maybe it is possible to make these ones to communicate with custom connector and USB-to-Serial adapter.
Any advice?

Soldered already custom power adapter on it.
