I just had a thought about this, the unix pc has a real sensitive Centronics
port and, of course, it doesn't use the standard clip connection to boot.
I have found that in some cases the connector really does have to be screwed
in to work.  Is your connector screwed in?  If not, try doing
a printer reset with the parallel connector held snugly onto the connector
by hand.
