I have a NeXT printer and a cable I think goes with it, but as all my
NeXTs run NetBSD I can't easily try it to be sure.

The cable I have does not have any NeXT logos apparent on it, but
neither does it have any other obvious manufacturer indication.  It is
marked "940-0024B" at four places, once on each side of each connector.

I can get out an ohmmeter and give you the dc pinout of the cable if
you want.  Whether that is enough, I don't know - at least some of the
ways the printer could be designed send what are basically video
signals over that cable, in which case things like impedance matching
become important.
