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

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.
