AYA 6Ft. USB to Parallel IEEE 1284 Printer Adapter Cable PC (Connect Your Old Parallel Printer to a USB Port) Win XP/7/8/10 and MAC OS Compatible

My ancient HP laser jet would not work after I installed Windows 10. I took a chance on the old Belkin cable's software not being compatible with the new OS and bought this Windows 10 comparable cable. My printer immediately came to life! This cable worked flawlessly to salvage a perfectly good printer's functionality. A VERY economical fix compared to the much more expensive fixes proposed by my IT firm.

Wrong cable ordered. Item was returned.

Works as advertised.

I purchased this to interface an old HP1200 printer to a new DELL 8900 PC. Interesting.. it worked ok when the PC was running (when I plugged it in) HOWEVER when I shut down and try to restart the DELL... the DELL would not power up at all. A blinking orange light instead of the white power light. I discovered that the DELL 8900 did not recognize this adapter as "VALID" so it did not pass the "POST" test... the test that PC's do when they boot up and check all the attached devices, etc..

I bought another USB to parallel cable trying to use my old HP LaserJet printer. After hours of investigation, I found out that the cable was not able to be used with Windows 10. I returned it and started my search yet again. This time I hit the jackpot. This cable is absolutely perfect in every way and it works!!!! As usual with Amazon, it was easy to order and it came on time. If you have Windows 10 and you need this type of cable, then look no more, this it what you should get.

LazerJet HP6P users needing the 1284 cable with the IEE/USB port ends, this is the correct cable. My Gateway Windows 7 Pro computer tower (USB) connects and passes data to the HP6P printer IEE 1284 pin connection thu this cable after a free software download. The device driver is at hp.com. To make the Win 7 operating system work with the HP6P, download from the Win 7 - Add New Device file. Find the HP site that lists this driver --> (universal driver for printing only). Click : Add New Device, find and click the universal device. The cord looks very strong. The ends of the cord look very strong. The cord seems to be properly insulated to prevent data loss. I did not know if this cord was going to work, but the price is so low for such goofy cord. I am very happy I bought it because my 20 year old HP6P is such a great printer and it's a shame to have to throw away a great printer.

The purpose of getting the cable was to resurrect an old parallel port printer on a computer with a windows 7 OS. It turned out that the printer and computer were incompatible, but the cable did link the two together, was of great quality, and was received by mail almost over night. I should also mention that the price excellent - 1/6th the price in the retail store on the street.

Very glad to be able to use my old HP LaserJet 4L printer again (which has parallel port connection) and connect it to the USB port on my laptop. Working perfectly! The shipment arrived on time and the product was as described

Don't work.
