My HP LaserJet 1100 is reliable and inexpensive to run. My computers no longer have the parallel port it requires. This cable adapter was the perfect solution. I simply plugged my printer cable into the adapter cable, and the adapter cable into my USB port worked the first time with no messing around. Windows is a bit quirky, though. You must plug the adapter cable consistently into the same USB for the printer to be recognized.

This was exactly what I needed to hook my 4 year old HP printer (w/parallel port) to my new laptop (which came with Windows Vista, and no parallel port). The product comes with a disc to install the drivers needed (but my printer is so awesome, I didn't need to use it.) I just plugged it in and it printed. This is perfect!

I had an older HP LaserJet 5 that still worked great, but my new laptop didn't have the parallel connection. This was a great buy, resonable price, and was shipped promptly.

I bought this because one of the reviewers said that it worked with Windows 7. The product itself does not say that. I cannot get this to work with my HP 722C Deskjet and the Windows 7 (64bit) operating system. Not sure of the issues if this device or Windows 7. The plug and play recognizes that a usb print connection is made when cable is plugged in, but does not recognize that a printer is attached to it. In device manager, this USB Print device is listed as unspecified. The Windows 7 did not automatically download HP 722 drivers. I did that manually, but again,the software still only recognizes that an unspecified USB Print device is attached. No signals are sent to the printer through cable.

Others on the internet with similar problems are saying that it works with Windows 7 (32bit) but not 64bit. Maybe a fix will show up somewhere, but I have not seen any to date.

Works great with Windows 7 64-bit and a HP LaserJet 5SI Mopier. Truly plug and play no problems or concerns.
