My older style printer only had the parallel plug interface. This devise saved me from getting my PC modified or getting a new printer. Once I configured the PC for the correct USB port, the printer just started working as if it were expecting me and waiting for the correct configuration.

Excellent product. I bought it for my workplace. It allowed us to continue using an older well working printer on a new computer!

I bought this because I needed to connect a really old printer to my dad's new desktop. This did not work for some reason. I ended up buying a PCI adaptor instead and that worked.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased new Laptop PC. Got home and found out that the PC did not have a large plug port to connect my printer to. Back to store and was told I needed this adapter plug. Purchased it for $32, got home plugged it in and received a error message saying that the printer does not support 64 bit. Took it back to store and returned it. Purchased new printer. Now all works fine.
What's great about it: Allows you to use some older printers with newer PCs
What's not so great: Once purchased, I found out that my printer was not 64 bit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm going to say upfront that I got an "open box" version of this item. That may be the reason for it not working.
When I plugged the adapter into the computer, it recognized the USB device, but it would never recognize the printer on the parallel port end.
It was also twice the price of one that I purchased the next day from another store that just worked perfectly and fit on the printer better.
What's great about it: Nothing.
What's not so great: Everything. Priced too high, it didn't work, package was hard to get into, didn't fit well on the printer, etc.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
