I have an old work horse of a printer - HP Laserjet 4V. It is working great thru parallel port. I wanted to connect it to another computer which does not have a parallel port. So I purchased this USB cable. But it was not compatible with my Windows 7 computer and this old printer.
Maybe I expect too much from this cable. But it was disappointing. I have used another brand of similar cable with HP LaserJet 6L. That worked fine. But this particular brand did not work with HP LaserJet 4V.

If the printer is not compatible is not because of the cable that's just I/O. THe reason it does not work is because the manufacturer of the printer does not provide a driver compatible with Windows 7 because is so old. FYI you can always try to use a similar driver and see if it works for basic text. specially for those lower end basic HPLJ4 dinasours
