The Centronics Corp., which manufactured printers, introduced the Centronics interface in the 1970s, but Epson modified it into the Centronics interface commonly used today.
Today, the Centronics interface usually is called a parallel port, although some people still refer to it as a Centronics port.
The term Centronics interface also refers to the 36-pin connector on the end of many parallel cables used to connect the computer to the printers.

 Centronics parallel interface - a definition from Whatis.com
The Centronics parallel interface is an older and still widely-used standard I/O interface for connecting printers and certain other devices to computers.
When the Centronics parallel interface was first developed, the main peripheral was the printer.
Compatibility mode is the original Centronics parallel interface and intended for use with dot matrix printers and older laser printers.

 Centronics and IBM Compatible Parallel Printer Interface Pin Assignment Reference
As this was a fairly simple design, many computer makers of the era adopted it, particularly the computer makers that purchased Centronics printer models and then put their own companies names on them, known as "branding" or "relabeling".
By 1981, the Centronics interface was universally accepted, and essentially all printers would communicate with a Centronics interface on a host system, or at least had Centronics compatibility available as an option.
Due to the TTL signaling used in both the Centronics and IBM printer interfaces, printer cables can generate a lot of unwanted interference and are also susceptible to interference from other devices as well as cross-talk between the various signals in the printer cable.

 Centronics Cable Pinout, Connector Signal Names, and LPT description
The Centronics parallel cable has a maximum run out to 12 feet, using a 36-pin champ connector.
The Parallel port [Centronics] interface cable used a 36-pin connector on the Printer side, and a 25-pin D-Sub connector on the Host [PC] side.
The original Centronics was named because of the type of connector it used, a Centronics connector.
