Great, after some googling I realized that there are datasheets of very similar displays, and SOME have pin 1 at the edge, and some have pin 14 Doh..

The one that I had printed says it is like I wired it up on the breadboard, therefore I assumed that I followed this when I builded the parport displays, but now I better disassemble one and see how I really connected it.
