the LPV-11 was a upgrade and improved LAV-11.  The LPV-11 has jumpers to 
handle things like parity, polarity of strobe to mention a few.  All the 
manuals I have show the jumpers but do not give pinouts..

They use an identical connector. TO sort out how to make a foreign cable 
you really need the printset for it.  Either that or wire a DLV-11 serial
card and use that to drive a serial interface printer.
