HELP!  I bought an OKIMATE 20, and eagerly ran the self test, which ran
flawlessly.  But how do I get it to connect?  

The included IBM Parallel package included a Centronics to DB-25 male cable; I 
disconnected pin 23 (+5 volts--bad!) and slapped on a female-female gender 
changer, but every time I try to print anything to prt: I get a "check printer"
requester.

David at the Commodore-Amiga help number suggested I wire pin 16 on the cable
to pin 25 on the Amiga, but pins 14-18 are nonexistant on the OKIDATA cable.

					Thanks muchly,
