On the PC side this is true. A PC parallel printer port is usually a
DB-25 female connector, which joins to a DB-25 male connector on the
cable.

The other end of the cable will have a 36 pin "Centronics" male
connector (officially known as a "Micro Ribbon" connector). The
printer will have a matching 36 pin female Centronics/Micro Ribbon
connector.
