This is ideal for computers without a parallel port or in order to free up the parallel port for a Zip drive or scanner. Forget the hassles of IRQ sharing by adapting your high-speed printer to USB.

The device is fully transparent to the user and is ideal for true bi-directional communication.

Rating: - Works as advertised
After trying a less expensive USB to Printer cable (made by a Chinese manufacturer) that did not work, I was very pleased to get this cable and find that it worked exactly as it was suppose to. I just followed the included instructions and had zero problems. Highly recommend this cable if you need to connect an older parallel port printer to a newer computer with only USB ports.
Rating: - Great Product, Great Seller
Great product and great working with the vendor. Item was as promised and worked as stated. Would definitely purchase from this vendor again.

Recently I made the switch from a PC to an iMac. The transition has not been as smooth as I was hoping. It's taken me awhile to get used to the iMac and while I really like it for the most part, I'm still finding my iMac freezes up and crashes almost as often as my PC ever did--mostly when I have like 4-5 programs open and the internet going simultaneously.

Rating: - Cable adapter
I found the product exactly as described. It worked perfectly within a few seconds. I am very satisfied.
Rating: - Easy to install and works perfectly!
I purchased a new Dell computer with Vista and was surprised to see that it didn't have the 25 pin printer port as all my previous computers had. I have an HP Laserjet 1100 and didn't want to have to throw it out given it works perfectly fine. This adapter cable was easy to install and Vista had no problems identifying it. The adapter comes with instructions which you must follow to properly install the cable and attach the printer. Worth the money!!!
