(1) A Zenith Z-29-A terminal: . It has two RS-232C ports, (one male and one female). . It can fully compatible to VT100. . I use it to connect to the UNIX system in my school via a modem.
(2) A daisy wheel printer: . It has one parallel port
I try to connect them such that I can "dump" the screen to my printer. (I use the VT100 print screen command: ESC#7). But I was fail. Is there anyone know how to connect a parallel port to a serial port? Or, should I need another "converter" between them? Or I will never success until I buy a serial printer?

There are devices available that can convert serial dat to pparallel data iin either direction. Their cost varies but I can get some specifics for you if you need them.
