wire

that looks about right! but the display has 14 pins on it and the link you posted is for 16-18 pin! ill look in to it see what i can find i have some wires that have the plugs on it! im still lost in the wiring diagram to convert what is on the cable to a parallel or USB
 
The first 14 pins are the same for these displays. The extra pins are for a negative voltage option and/or duplicate pins for the backlight, which you don't need to use.

You won't be able to adapt your display to USB unless you also get a USB-to-parallel converter, which would also require custom software. The parallel printer port method can at least be used with CFA's standard software.

There is not enough information here to know what your setup is.

Are you connected to a parallel port, like in the link I posted? If so, what is the port address and what voltage level are the signals?

What software are you using to try to control the display?

Can you post a photo of the hookup?
