Special project/Printer cable

Hello
I am donig a Special button switch for my gaming Wheel.
I want to use a Printer cable plugs connections.

Do's anyone know if the LPT printer cable is wire straight thru in other words no wire cross over.
Example if there are 20 pins/connections are there 20 wires inside to connect to?

Thanks for your help

Printer advice

hp printers have the most expensive ink of all printers, the most economical is cannon and epson so i suggest if you looking to keep costs down look at those brands.

that being said it may not have the best print quality if it uses less costly ink.

if keeping cost down is the most important then shop in reverse, find a brand that has cheap replacement ink cartridges then see what printers they are used on. then from that list look to see if you like any of those printers and if they are affordable to you, if not then select another ink cartridge and look at the printers that those are used on. this method will give you the most affordable printer and the cheapest cost of replacement ink.

personally i use the refillable ink cartridges like these: http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store/catalog/Our-Epson-Refill-Kits-orderby0-p-1-c-4.html

 

connecting printer to router

hello all, im having a couple questions about setting a printer up on a router, is there a way that a printer can be set up just on a router, i have family that uses a laptop and wants to use without having to turn the desktop on, are there any devices that can do this??? i have heard of like turning a usb cable into a wireless connection, or even just into a ethernet connection,

any thoughts greatly welcome
thanks again
