Smegma UNHAPPY with NO function [Posted on 2008-06-24]
It did not work -- RETURNED.
I gave it 3 stars because it was solidly built and GREAT price ...
Worked for a day. [Posted on 2008-06-29]
I purchased this to hook up my old HP 5MP to my iMac G4. That didn't work at all, despite loading the drivers for the cable and for the printer. Then I plugged the cable into my Intel iMac, and it worked! A miracle! A short-lived miracle. It no longer prints. I've tried everything, it's hopeless. The iMac knows that something is plugged in, it just doesn't know what it is anymore.
Additionally, this cable is barely 5 feet long, nowhere near the 6 feet advertised.
Salavaged its cost when I bought a new printer [Posted on 2008-07-10]
Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable did not work with Windows Vista on two serial printers: HP LaserJet III and Epson Stylus Photo 820. It does work with Vista and a brand new Brothers HL5250DN. This monchrome laserjet has a serial port connection, so I used the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable to connect it to the CPU. This saved me the cost of buying another USB cable. In hindsight I should have simply bought a new printer, the day I bought my new computer.
Don't gamble on this [Posted on 2008-07-18]
Who knows why the people at Sabrent would create a so-called "adapter" cable that works with such a limited number of printers -- but they did.
My experience supports the advice of earlier reviewers who bought this cable, found it useless, then had to turn around and buy a Belkin adapter to get the job done. In this instance, the Sabrent failed to connect a Dell Latitude laptop to a 1200 Series Samsung laser printer. But the Belkin F5U002V1 from Amazon did the trick.
Turns out that if you surf the Web long enough you can find the limited list of printers this Sabrent is made to serve. It should not be this difficult! Ya live and learn.
Did not work with HP 5P printer and Vista [Posted on 2008-07-20]
Vista recognized the printer, but would not print. Most reviews ( I read after buying this cable) say that HP printers won't work with this type cable. I recommend installing a parallel printer card instead of trying this cable.
