XP sees there's a new USB device but is unable to locate any driver, nor asks where one is (as the documentation claims should happen). There is no company or support information, and the seller cable4less / cable4pc only has email. don't buy it 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful: By notxe "dvd guy" (D.C.) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: USB to Parallel IEEE 1284 Printer Adapter Cable PC (Connect your old parallel printer to a USB port) (Electronics) 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! 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Ferdinand Magellan (Iowa) - See all my reviews This review is from: USB to Parallel IEEE 1284 Printer Adapter Cable PC (Connect your old parallel printer to a USB port) (Electronics) 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. |
