The unit had a plug that looks kinda like a house (like a pentagon with the top lopped off) and a white square thing in the center not quite sticking out.

Am I right that it is a USB B female and I need a USB B male cable?

I want to conntect this with a centronix (ie that has the contacts like studs on a toungue) on the unit

How are you going to connect the two? USB is high speed serial while Centronics is parallel, with handshaking. You can buy a ready made interface for a couple dollars:

Yes, that's what I was planning.. but I wanted to know how to spec the USB part. It isn't like the stuff on a flash drive. It's on the back of a printer.

What color is the unit? Is it aligned vertically, at an angle or horizontal? What's the relative humidity? Does the serial number end in Z?
