Find thee the schematic for LPV11 as that is the only document I know of
that says what pins on J1 are what. I did One years ago and that was
what I had to do back then.   Also there are jumpers that need to be correct
as that board would drive LP2x, LP05, and LA180 and LN01 printers 
(data products parallel). Correctly wired any of the Centronics parallel
printer equivilents used with the XT class stuff (even an HP4L) work well
with it.  It is otherwise trivial thing. 

If memory serves that LAV-11 had the same pinout of it's J1.
