The printer port connections for a CPC464 are in the manual on page 238:

I think its the same for the CPC664 (edge connector) while the CPC6128 has a standard D-SUB connector (which means you should be able to use a standard Centronics cable), the standard connection of a Centronics printer you can find here:

Is that what you are looking for?

The CPC 6128 has edge connectors too, except for the German CPC 6128 which has a Centronics connector. The Plus has a D-SUB connector.

No diagram but just recently I made a Edge-to-Centronics (464 to printer) cable. Is that the one you are looking for? I can take pictures.

@eto
Yes Photos would be good.
The cables i have seen have 1 Trace removed, I don't have this cable anymore, and i did not take a note of the missing trace ???
That is the reason for the inquiry.

Thanks

@Audronic


my printer cable does not have one pin cut as my printer has the DIP switches to avoid the additional line feed. 

If you don't have the DIP switch it probably is the 8th lane from the right (first picture) which is the autofeed signal that is put to GND in the CPC.

@eto 

Thanks for that update.
I will work out the pin number for the CPC end of the cable.

Thanks
