That thing was really loud!
Althought the connector on the CPC is different, it still uses the standard Parrallel Centronics interface, so and adaptor cable expanded the range of printers that could be connected to the CPC's printer port.
I used a Star LC10 for my C64, previously I had the Commodore MPS 803, which was very slow, and my cousin got a Star NL10, which was later replaced by the LC10, which was exactly the same model only just with another model number. I also had to buy a connector to plug it into the C64, and the connector itself cost me about 75-100€, can't remember exactly, but I know it was very pricey. The printer itself already cost 17.000LUF at that time, which are 425€!
