Adaptor cable
This adaptor was for an older HP printer to adapt to my new computer. HP doesn't even supply a cable for it anymore. So I was very thankful to find it here. The customer service was great. They helped me get what I needed. Thanks

Nice if it worked
Needed to establish a connection from a Nikon Coolscan III Film and Slide scanner (Serial Port) to My Mac Desk Top and/or a Toshiba LapTop (USB Ports). Neither computer recognizes the scanner using the C2G Cable. Very disapointing

Printers only
Originally purchased to plug in a MIDI Patchbay that uses a parallel port for communications. It wouldn't work for my application. It comes up as a USB printer port in Windows7, so it probably works fine for a parallel printer.

Very easy to get to work!
Have an old paralell 6P printer and three new laptops, I don't print that much (I use about one cartridge a year) so I did not want to by a new printer. Hooked up this cable and each laptop worked as soon as I set the port.

Hard to find cable
Had to connect old HP laser printer to new computer. Could not find cable locally in five stores. Your tech knew exactly what I needed and the product worked like a charm. Doesn't get any better than that!!

Worked like a Champ
Hooked up my PC with Windows 7 to my old HP Laserjet 1100. Windows 7 handled the loading of the device driver and all worked according to plan. The product could not have been simpler to implement and use.

Right cable but specs didn't give enough
Has fixed nuts that could not be removed to interface with printer with fixed nuts so the pins would not enter the opposite paralel port on printer and make contact. It left a gap. I could not use it.

Works Like A Charm!
We were able to keep using our HP Laserjet 6P with the new computer. Most new computers rely on USB ports for printers, this adapter works perfectly. It was easy to install and very reasonably priced.

Worked Like A Charm
I bought a new computer with USB connectors but no parallel printer port for my HP LaserJet 6P printer. This adapter converted the printer plug to a USB plug for my computer. It did the job well!

Caution
Works Very well for standard line printers, but does not work well at all for non-standard uses such as label or barcode printers. Recommend using parallel expansion card for non-std LPT uses.

Worked Without Complications
I took it out of the box, connected it to the printer cable from my old HP Deskjet 600C, attached the USB to my laptop running 64-bit Windows 7, and, after a short dialog, printed a document.

Plug & Play!!!
Worked great. Connected an older parallel HP printer to Win7 64 bit USB 2.0 we use for printing labels. Plugged in the adapter, the drivers loaded from Windows and we were in business.

To operate HP usb printer from computer
The idea was to use the computer IEEE port to operate a USB printer. It would not work. The printer a HP Photosmart C4700 sends a error message when trying to use this connection.

worked perfectly
Needed a parallel port for Windows 7 64 bit.
Worked right out of the box. Plugged in and Windows installed it with a USB001 port and parallel printer is printing fine.

OK
OK for printing to older printers which require the parallel connection. Not good if you're trying to manipulate individual lines of the printer port.

This is the product I was looking for
I have a old HP laserjet 4 printer that will only take parallel port. Modern computers only have USB so this will fit the billl.
