Can anyone help me?

I have recently purchased a Zebra s300 barcode printer, but don't know
which cable i need. The printer has a serial connection [25 pin]. Am
i right in thinking that i will be connection this to a serial
connection on my computer [9 pin]? Is there a cable which is 25 to 9
pin serial cable?

Any advice and information on this printer would be very much
appreciated.

Regards,

Yes but typicaly printers used "null modem" cables... so in addition to
a DB-9F to DB25, very common modem cable, you'd need a null modem
adapter... as these are easier to find than db-9 to db-25 null modem
cable. Any radioshack or computer dealer would carry these.

Best to double check that it does take a serial connection as DB-25
could also be parallel, though I'm pretty sure the offical parallel
cable (PCM-1100-06) was not db-25 on the printer side but rather
centronics.
