I get them from Digi-Key in the Assmann brand, their part numbers are : IEEE-1284 cables DK part # AE9861 (1.8 M) IEEE-1284 cables DK part # AE1374 (3 M)

I have made some special-purpose cables where ALL signals are individual twisted pairs, and they work fine, but are a big hassle to make. The "extension" cables have female standoffs on one end so that the connector jackscrews can lock into them. The part numbers I give above have jackscrews on both ends, and are intended to go from PC parallel port to equipment on the other end. I can't say if Mesa uses the same connector polarity as my products do. But these cables above are male DB25 on one end and female DB25 on the other.
