Cables To Go Model 16898 6 ft. 6ft USB to IEEE-1284 Parallel Printer Adapter Cable
Success with Win 8 and HP-6P
- Pros: with Win 8, cost less than $10, and took 5 minutes.
See below for simple steps - Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: After reading about a lot of attempts by others to use an HP-6P laserjet printer with Windows 7 and 8, and finding most of them discouraging, I want to share my success. I have not yet tried with Win 7. My solution was with Win 8, cost less than $10, and took 5 minutes. Here are the exact steps I took:
Turn on HP-6P
Using Cables To Go (C2G) 16898 cable (NewEgg Item #: N82E16812196233):
1. plug IEEE-1284 (parallel) end into printer
2. plug USB end into Windows 8 machine (no visible acknowledgement appeared on screen)
3. manually run Windows Update (Windows found HP-6P driver for Win 8, which appeared in description for download)
4. after Win Update completes, in Control Panel check that HP-6P is installed and appears under "Devices and Printers -> Printers
5. Print

Doesnt see it as a printer
- Pros: Was as described, in in item description allowed me to download the driver for windows 7.
- Cons: When plugged in it is recognized, but as "USB printer" and is not recognized as a printer, which means when you go to print something, you cannot choose that printer to print from, since it isn't recognized as a printer.

GWC Model AP1305-BG USB to Parallel Cable (Bi-Directional)
Works Great
- Pros: Easy install, Works great, Excellent value.
- Cons: No bi-directional communication to printer.
(Just disable it in the options)
- Other Thoughts: Works great with my old Canon BJC-80 printer, which lets me refill ink to my hearts content. New printers are a spendy joke.
(Just remember to disable bi-directional communication in printer setup. If you don't, your printer may take several minutes to actually start printing. Once it is disabled, printing starts instantly.)

KINGWIN Model DP25 5 ft. USB (M) to DB25 (IEEE1284) (F) Parallel Coverter Printer Cable M-F
- Pros: Simple and intutive installation. The converter was easy to hook up. No problem installing the print drivers in Windows 7. I needed a very low volume satellite laser printer. I had a working HP 1100 in the closet BUT it was parallel and the computer was strictly USB. For less than $10 I saved $100 to 200 dollars. Which I can now use to upgrade my main computer.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: Thanks Newegg for offering so many after market convertors. Please feel free to add more to your catalogue.

Cables To Go Model 16899 6ft USB to DB25 IEEE-1284 Parallel Printer Adapter Cable
This Product is Fantastic!
- Pros: This product worked perfectly as interface between my old workhorse printer, an HP 5P, and Windows 7. The driver was loaded automatically and the instruction were very clear and easy to follow. My printer now works perfectly! Prior to using this cable, my HP 5P wasn't printing at all. I either got printing errors in the print queue or when I clicked on Print in MS Office nothing happened. This totally fixed the problem.
- Cons: I have no negative comments at all.

SABRENT Model USB-DB25F 6 ft. 6FT USB to DB25 Female Parallel Converter Adapter Cable
Diappointed, my own fault
- Pros: Item is as stated. Fast shipping. Can't fault New Egg for my lack of investigation.
- Cons: Not parallel, my own fault
- Other Thoughts: I ordered this product thinking it would solve my issues with my HP Laserjet 4L, which is a work horse. I didn't look deep enough to realize that even though one end was the USB I needed, the other end had female pin connectors which will not fit into the parallel connector on printer. I have a newer wireless printer which works fine with my new system and home network. The 4L is a workhorse for which I have a brand new, unopened cartridge. My last cartridge lasted 10 years. The new printer doesn't get nearly that amount of printing on a cartridge. Anyone know of an available adapter I can get for parallel to the DB25?
