Great cable for old printer to UBS [Posted on 2007-08-21]
I am so happy to have found this cable set, made my connection to new computer USB a simple task for my old HP4 laser printer with really old style printer connections....I'd hate to part with a great old printer because of a connection problem...SAVED!

Great Value [Posted on 2007-11-08]
When you buy a new computer you'll have lots of USB ports and nothing else, which makes connecting an existing non-USB printer or scanner pretty difficult. Well, not difficult, all you need to do is connect them with a parallel-to-usb adapter cable. You can get one at Best Buy or Staples for $40-$60, or you can buy this one that does the same thing for about $5.

a great bargain [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I looked at one of these cables at staples and it was $41 and some change.
You cant beat the price, even with the shipping cost.
My old Hp 722c is up and running again. A few compatibility problems at first, but that was on the windows xp side.

Did not work. [Posted on 2008-01-12]
After getting a new laptop that only supported USB, I purchased this parallel/USB printer cable in an attempt to save my Multifunction Laser printer that I paid over $350 for and didn't want to have all that money go down the drain due to new technology. Unfortunately the device never worked; the cable did not come with a driver and my new computer did not recognize it. I was never able use my printer. I ended up having to purchase a new printer that supported USB, luckily it was on sale. This cable isn't worth it. Just let the old equipment go... and upgrade.

Don't Bother with Vista [Posted on 2008-01-20]
I recently got a new PC with Windows Vista and I can't get this cable to work at all with my old HP Laserjet. Its possible that its the cable - or maybe its Vista... a lot of software and hardware seems to not want to work well with Vista. In any case - it doesn't work for me at all.
