There is no pin 18 to get a centronics-compatible pin numbering. Ie. although the CPC uses a 34pin edge connector, the pins are numbered as on a 36pin centronics connector.

As shown above Pin9 is wired to GND (instead of Data 7), for upgrading, see 8bit Printer Ports.

CPC Plus and KC Compact Pinout

Pin No. CPC+ KC Compact PC
1 /Strobe /Strobe /Strobe

10 NC NC /Ack
11 Busy Busy Busy
12 NC NC PaperEnd
13 NC NC SLCT
14 NC NC /AutoLF
15 NC NC /Error
16 +5V NC /Init
17 GND NC /Select
18-25 GND GND GND

CPC+ and KC Compact printer ports differ only on Pin 16,17.
