Chris, One source of that connector is an HP C8231A cable for a Deskjet 450. It's used to connect the printer to a DB-25 parallel port. The connector fits the X72, but there are only 25 leads in the cable. I haven't tried to use it so I don't know if the missing lead is important or not. The cable isn't molded so it might just be possible to add the extra wire. I opened it up, but I can't tell. It looks like it's an IDC connector. The connector is stamped with the manufacturer's logo of 'JST' ( www.jst.com ). No part number, though. I looked at the web site, but didn't see anything close.
