Use this adapter cable to connect your inkjet, laser or high speed printer to a computer without a parallel port. Forget the hassles of IRQ sharing by adapting your printer to USB. If you have multiple printers, you can eliminate the need for a switchbox by connecting each printer to a USB port.

The device is fully transparent to the user and is ideal for true bi-directional communication. This adapter auto-negotiates hardware recognition for faster protocol setup, and is fully plug-and-play compatible. This adapter cable is a perfect accessory for Microsoft® Surface® products and other leading laptops.

Note: This adapter is designed for use with a standard Parallel printer and is not designed to support multi-function printers or other parallel devices. This adapter uses the USB Printing Support function of the operating system and is not designed to create a LPT port.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Adaptor cable This adaptor was for an older HP printer to adapt to my new computer. HP doesn't even supply a cable for it anymore. So I was very thankful to find it here. The customer service was great. They helped me get what I needed. Thanks

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice if it worked Needed to establish a connection from a Nikon Coolscan III Film and Slide scanner (Serial Port) to My Mac Desk Top and/or a Toshiba LapTop (USB Ports). Neither computer recognizes the scanner using the C2G Cable. Very disapointing

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Printers only Originally purchased to plug in a MIDI Patchbay that uses a parallel port for communications. It wouldn't work for my application. It comes up as a USB printer port in Windows7, so it probably works fine for a parallel printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very easy to get to work! Have an old paralell 6P printer and three new laptops, I don't print that much (I use about one cartridge a year) so I did not want to by a new printer. Hooked up this cable and each laptop worked as soon as I set the port.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hard to find cable Had to connect old HP laser printer to new computer. Could not find cable locally in five stores. Your tech knew exactly what I needed and the product worked like a charm. Doesn't get any better than that!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked like a Champ Hooked up my PC with Windows 7 to my old HP Laserjet 1100. Windows 7 handled the loading of the device driver and all worked according to plan. The product could not have been simpler to implement and use.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Right cable but specs didn't give enough Has fixed nuts that could not be removed to interface with printer with fixed nuts so the pins would not enter the opposite paralel port on printer and make contact. It left a gap. I could not use it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Like A Charm! We were able to keep using our HP Laserjet 6P with the new computer. Most new computers rely on USB ports for printers, this adapter works perfectly. It was easy to install and very reasonably priced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked Like A Charm I bought a new computer with USB connectors but no parallel printer port for my HP LaserJet 6P printer. This adapter converted the printer plug to a USB plug for my computer. It did the job well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Caution Works Very well for standard line printers, but does not work well at all for non-standard uses such as label or barcode printers. Recommend using parallel expansion card for non-std LPT uses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked Without Complications I took it out of the box, connected it to the printer cable from my old HP Deskjet 600C, attached the USB to my laptop running 64-bit Windows 7, and, after a short dialog, printed a document.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Plug & Play!!! Worked great. Connected an older parallel HP printer to Win7 64 bit USB 2.0 we use for printing labels. Plugged in the adapter, the drivers loaded from Windows and we were in business.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from To operate HP usb printer from computer The idea was to use the computer IEEE port to operate a USB printer. It would not work. The printer a HP Photosmart C4700 sends a error message when trying to use this connection.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not work with win 7 I bougth this a month ago to get rid of an old PC that I used just because of the parrallel port. And it's time that I still can't find a Win 7 driver to use it as an LPT port.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from OK OK for printing to older printers which require the parallel connection. Not good if you're trying to manipulate individual lines of the printer port.
