Connecting LPT Printer Parallel Port (D-SUB 25x1) to HP Model 6000 Pro Microtower VN784EA

Hello,

I have an HP Model 6000 Pro Microtower VN784EA computer.
The motherboard has an output to the LPT port.
Unfortunately, I can not find an exact description for the record that sits there and I do not know if this output is standard or not.
Of course, it has 26 pins in 2 rows (one empty pin) but I know from experience that such company comps can have something "rearranged".
For this reason, I do not know if I can buy a LPT LP port on a plot for a penny or do I have to buy an original HP port?
Disc designation: 531965-001 Link


Port designation: 497727-001 KD061AA Link


I am wondering that from the description of the original port it appears that it fits only a few models of HP computers. Now the question is whether it fits only to a few kicks, because only those had the output port on the disc, or just the rest has a different standard?

Someone will help me?

Knowing the prices of Hp, it is worth taking a chance and buying a standard one, at the most you will need to commemorate the cables.

Well, yes, but how do I know what to leave with?
You would need a description of the pins on the disc, and I can not find

Maybe you will not have to change anything.

http://pinouts.ru/ParallelPorts/ParallelPC_pinout.shtml Check the GND pins with an ohmmeter (ground) or fit. If they are "in place" then the rest will also fit. You can also check http://www.passmark.com/support/loopback.htm

None of this will be
The LPT and COM port are output on the disc.
Neither of them has "visible" in the bios.
From what I understand a given port "appears" in a bios, as soon as we connect the appropriate cable - read the original HP cable.
Otherwise, these ports are not active. They can not see them bios = they can not see windows
The only thing left is the purchase of the original cable or LPT controller.

Hello
Old topic, but thanks to my HP DC7900 I got here too.
After searching the network resources and testing on my motherboard, the LPT port appeared in the system after the pin 26 was pinned to GND.

As for the COM2 port, the connector is not yet recognized, but it seems to me that there is a TTL level signal, because I found such an adapter on the network:

So the classic driver for RS232.

Maybe it will help someone.
