Customer Review: Up and running in no time!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on this cable. I didn't know the manufacturer, either. However, it functioned just as advertised, straight out of the box. I have an old printer (HP DeskJet 720c) that has a parallel connection on it, and I just bought a new laptop with no parallel ports. I didn't want to bother with a docking station, so I bought this cable. I plugged it in, ran the add printer wizard that popped up in XP as soon as it detected my printer, and have had no problems since. I am thoroughly satisfied.Customer Review: Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel Cable
Summary: 5 Stars
This works just as advertised. If you use Windows 7 and have an older parallel printer, this is the only cable for you if you are connecting a printer with a USB port. I have tried others and they simply don't work. I was just about ready to put my LaserJet 4 in the closet but decided to do some more research on cables. If they are not certified for Windows 7 they will not work. It is funny, though, that the Amazon description only indicated Windows 2000 and XP. The Sabrent website indicated it was compatible with Windows 7, however.Customer Review: Works just fine on Mac Book Pros (Leopard) and HP LaserJet 4P
Summary: 5 Stars
This product worked perfectly (printing to an HP LaserJet 4P) for a brand new 15.4" Mac Book Pro and a two year old 17" MBP, both with Leopard. I simply plugged the cable into the USB port on the MBP and then the printer. OS X recognized the printer immediately, and I was able to successfully print several documents. It was unnecessary to load the drivers that came on the mini-CD which ships with the cable (thankfully, since it wouldn't have worked in the slot-loading CD/DVD drive, anyhow.)
I'm a happy customer.
Customer Review: It connects to more than advertised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was unsure of whether to purchase this product when I saw that my printer (HP Deskjet 712C) was not on the list put out by the manufacturer but after reading some others' reviews, I tried it anyway because the price was right. It may look a little cheesy but it works. I didn't even need the CD that comes with it in order to use the product. I just plugged it in to my printer and then into my new Dell laptop and it worked. I think I may have had to restart and add my printer but that was it. Very good product!Customer Review: Perfect. Just Perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought an old and inexpensive HP Laserjet 4 Plus for a charity auction, and I to hook it up to a newer desktop PC that has no parallel port. This cable worked perfectly and I didn't even need to run the CD that came with it. My PC (HP Pavilion running Vista) recognized the printer instantly and I was printing right away.
I should warn that this cable is only 6 feet long. If your PC and printer are further than a few feet away, you should consider getting a USB extension cable.
