It is not just a pinout you need.

You need a MAX232 IC in the cable.
It convertes the RS232 signals to TTL level.

If you find it nice to construct a small printboard with the chip and 5
capasitors, I will draw the schematic for you with the pinouts on both ends.

You will also need the software that is compatible with your firmware
number.

Here is a post from the tek-tips forum.

It works fine on my 840 printer.
