Gary,

I believe the pinout is as follows:

IBM-compatible parallel printer port, 25 pin version:
Connector: DB25
1             -strobe
2-9             D0-7
10             -Ack
11             Busy
12             PE
13             Select
14             -Auto Feed XT
15             -Error
16             -Init
17             -Select in
18-25         GND  (mostly shielding)

You might want to chect out the following site for additional pinouts:
