The pinout that you were given is for the PI, which has a DB25 pin parallel
connector.  As you found out, the IKON Centronics board requires a 37pin Sub-D
to Centronics male 34pin (screw-on). I just took a look at my Price Book
at the Parallel Controller Option P4-PCI1, which comes with the internal
(board to i/o panel) cable. It also requires the purchase of the P4-PX01 cable
as described above. Apparently you didn't order this cable. I'll look around
to see if I can find a schematic on that cable (*if* it's built internally).
If not, you might have to order one. :-(

I'll see what I can do.
