Dee 11/30/2010 12:30:21 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Works well Pros: Works as expected. One of the few that didn't cause communication/junk output issues with my printers. Cons: None so far - I bought 3 of these and all have worked great in areas that run 24/7 Other Thoughts: If you are using this to connect 2 printers to one system you might look at a USB-Parallel cable since it will save you money compared to this. If you are connecting 2 systems to one printer and LPT is your only option then this should work out great. Just remember to to get the DB25 Male-Male cables. Did you find this review helpful?

- Z - 10/18/2007 8:05:04 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Yuck! Pros: We bought this so we didn't have to replace our barcode and receipt printers. Which i guess worked. Nice button? Does the job. Cons: The parallel is in lousy positions. If you have to manually switch there is never a good place to put this. No automatic for two printer to one comp. Duh! The way it is setup you have to push twice to get to stuff. If you leave it on wtih the both lights on feature (creates a printer pool) it really messes up your printers. Have to restart everything when an employee acidentally does it. Other Thoughts: Save the Money and buy a usb printer. Get updated. I also had to buy a cable to connect computer to printer.
