Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Syba SD-USB-DB25 USB 2.0 to Paralle/IEEE 1284 Port Adapter, Prolific Chipset
Customer Review: Yes! It Works with GNU/LINUX !!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite opinions from some reviewers,
This product works straight from package to the pc without need of drivers.
One reviewer here says some one about "cable does not emulate a printer",
come on! how one cable can emulate one printer???.
One printer is a device very complex. A single cable can not emulate it. Not more to say.
The USB to PARALLEL adapter (like this) is a device that converts 2 different signaling communication protocols known as USB and PARALLEL.
When using this adapter, the computer sends data to the parallel printer using USB signaling protocol,
then this device converts the sent data to PARALLEL signaling protocol (this is the protocol that parallel printer understands), after this the printer responds sending to computer PARALLEL data too, using PARALLEL signaling protocol, then this device converts the sent data to USB signaling protocol, because for this connection, the computer is talking in USB signaling protocol.
This process is repeated between the Computer and the Printer until the end.
COMPUTER --> USB/PARALLEL --> PRINTER
PRINTER --> PARALLEL/USB --> COMPUTER
COMPUTER --> USB/PARALLEL --> PRINTER
..
..
This cable adapter is really a signaling protocol converter between USB and PARALLEL, and works VERY WELL doing your job.
I recommend this device (Syba SD-USB-DB25 USB 2.0 to Paralle/IEEE 1284 Port Adapter, Prolific Chipset) with 5 stars. It works without problems. Good construction and enough cable length.
One comment for GNU/LINUX Users: When configuring CUPS for use with this device, the Device URI must be: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
One last comment: Is better to use one USB to DB25 Paralle/IEEE 1284 Port Adapter (like this) than "printer adapters" (USB to Printer cable).
Happy printing..!
