[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Qume printer with IBM PC clone

I just got hold of an old Qume Sprint 5 daisy wheel printer,
and I'm having trouble getting it to work with my IBMPC clone.
I'm not sure if the cable is serial or parallel -- can you
tell by looking?  All I have is the parallel port that comes
on the same board with the monitor port.  So I may need to get
a serial port.  But I just want to verify that my cable is
serial first.  It fits into the parallel port, but nothing
happens.

any info would be greatly appreciated.  Please send email.

thanks
