5 out of 5 stars Works great with HP Deskjet 722C, except ....   May 9, 2007
Former Yooper (Planet New Mexico)
I got this on clearance at Walmart for 16 bucks! Had just bought a spanking new computer system with Windows Vista. Couldn't decide on a printer. Found out by using a bidirectional USB to Parallel port cable I could possibly use my HP with my new system. Hooked everything up the computer system installed the printer for me. Didn't have to do a thing. The only things I noticed is that there was only an option for installation for HP Deskjet 720C rather than 722C, which is what my printer is ... and I used to be able to do double-sided printing with my old Windows 98SE system .... with my new system (Windows Vista), I cannot. Still, it's enough to get me by until I can decide on a new all in one printer. If anyone is leary about using these cables, don't be. They work! Just allow your Windows Vista system to do the installation for you!


5 out of 5 stars Makes paralletl printer plug and play with Windows 2000 or XP-has driver for 98   February 25, 2007
Zoo Keeper (USA)
I have Windows XP, a laptop with USB ports only (no parallel), and a Laserjet 6p. Plug the Cent36m end of cable into the printer's parallel port and turn the printer on. Insert the USB end into a port on the computer. Windows XP recognized it, and installed the printer. It's that simple. br / br /A mini-CD in included and has the driver for Windows 98. The manual is also on that CD. Please note, that the CD works only with drives that have a center-piece that the CD snaps onto similar to the center piece in a jewel case. APC does have a web site if you have any questions or need more information. br / br /This product is ideal for using a parallel printer with a laptop which only has USB ports. This is a lot less expensive alternative than buying a new printer! However, the information that comes with the product says using this cable is faster than a parallel to parallel connection too. :-).
