Product Description:
The USB to parallel converter cable allows Winterm customers the ability to attach legacy port peripherals to simple and powerful small-footprint USB products. The parallel converter cable supports Centronics standard printers.
Amazon.com Product Description:
The Sabrent USB-to-Parallel, 6-foot printer cable is the best solution to convert USB signals to parallel port signals, and it is also compatible with most printers' supported drivers. With a bi-directional technique, this cable makes the communication completely from USB port to parallel port or completely from parallel port to USB port. The model also makes the communication work with both a PC and a Macintosh. This USB-to-parallel printer cable is typically used to connect a printer to a USB port on a PC. It connects a desktop or laptop computer with on-board USB to a parallel interface printer.
By using this USB-to-parallel interface converter cable, you can connect any standard parallel printer to a USB port. The USB interface provides a much faster data transfer rate than a standard parallel port, thereby reducing the time waiting for a print job to be sent to your printer. This portable device is self powered and provides plug-and-play installation to any USB-compliant computer running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, or a Mac running OS 9.2 or higher. It includes a 6-foot USB-to-parallel adapter cable and the drivers on a CD. What's in the Box
USB-to-parallel cable; drivers on a CD.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Worked for me
Worked perfectly out of the box with Vista and an old brother HL-1440 laser printer. Windows provided a printer driver automatically and I did not have to use the provided driver for the cable adapter. I suspect the trouble the one-star people are having is more of a quality control issue with the cable rather than an incompatibilty problem. Perhaps I lucked out and got a good one.
Rating:  - Piece of junk
I've gone through two of these, Amazon replaced the first faulty one that failed after two weeks of use, this one failed after a couple months. I don't even want to bother with trying to warranty this one, it's not worth my time. Unless you want to be without use of your printer and/or have lots of time to waste, I recommend spending a few more dollars to get a decent product that going to last.
Rating: - Does not work with Window Vista
This product does not come with a driver for Windows Vista, and it does not work with Windows Vista. The company does not offer a Vista driver on its website either. Don't buy it if you use Vista!
Rating: - Doesn't work with the Canon BJC-80
I tried this parallel-to-USB cable/converter with my Canon BJC-80 and, despite other claims, it doesn't work. Don't waste your money -- you get what you pay for!!!
Rating: - Not 6-foot; installation CD not readable; just doesn't work
You might as well consider this product a 50-50 gamble, considering that half of the reviews rate 1 star, and half rate 5 stars. For me, it just didn't ever work. For you, random shopper, the effective cost of this gamble on the Sabrent cable is $8.99/50%, or $17.98. I'll write off the $8.95 (free shipping) and try again with another product. By the way, the cable I received is only 4 feet 10 inches.
