Morning all,
I have two ribbon cables which are town for the Grappler Plus card. I would like to repair them but cannot find a pinout for the Grappler Plus online. Does anyone happen to have one?

Try this link and download the Operators Manual. Look at page 13 of the PDF (page 22 of the manual). There are pin assignments there.

Help this is the correct information you are looking for.
Good luck!
Thank you, althought I have one question.
The cable originally came with a centronics 25 pin end, can I use the same pinoutto make a short cable with a DB 25 pin female connect so I can use a standard parallel cable?
No, you cannot use the same pin-out as there are subtle differences between the Centronics parallel connector and the DB-25 parallel connector. See image below:

Here you can see the Grappler connector-to-Centronics pin-outs :
