Customer Review: Finally got it to work - Vista and DeskJet 500
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cable (and another one) and couldn't get either one to work. There was no directions with either cable. There was a mini disc which didn't have anything useful and I ended up not using it at all.
I attached the USB end of the cable to my new Vista desktop first. Vista then automatically installed the driver for the cable. (Watch the lower right hand side of your screen to see the install happen). Then I attached the other end to my DeskJet 500 printer, went to Printers (under control panel) and clicked on Add a Printer. Choose 'Add a Local Printer'.
Then Vista asks for the port designation, which is where I went astray. Other reviews said to pick the USB port that you plugged the cable into. I spent much time trying to determine what that port's name was, eventually deciding it was Port_#0007.Hub_#0001. It took that port name but would not work - my computer thought it printed (i.e., the print queue emptied) but nothing printed.
Actually Vista was making it easy for me - I just didn't know it. When Vista "installs' the cable - which happens when it is plugged into the computer - vista creates a port called 'USB001 Virtual printer port for USB'. That's the one to select from the list (click the arrow to see the list) when the Add printer wizard asks for the Port. Once I did that - guess what? Both cables worked just fine.
The other cable was the Dekcell CPA 1028. I ended up using this cable as it is a foot longer, but both cables work.
