As far as I'can think, it shouldn't be a problem. Since all 
intelligence for
the printer resided under software control in the NeXT box, I can't 
think of
a reason why NeXT would have done anything funky with the cable.
I'd assume it's just a straight through cable. But if someone has access
to a multi-meter, it should be fairly easy to measure this, i.e. if 
there
are any connections that are not 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.
The only tricky thing might be the cable's impedance, such that the 
printer
gets a clean control signal.
