Pros: It seems to work,saves on buying a new printer when you have a good but it's three or four year old ,but still works great

Cons: none that I know of yet

Overall Review: I said it saves on buying a printer ,but I did not know they made such adapter ,and I bought a new printer because of my new motherboard did'nt have the port ,But I like my old printer so much better and I paid $3xx for it three or four years ago and now I can use it again.

Pros: Plug and Play, works without drivers on my HP Laserjet 6P printer, using Windows XP. I just selected my printer port in the control panel to use the "USB" port.

Cons: It's packaging came with an unlabeled driver mini-cd which is unreadable by my tray loading cd player. This is annoying. Luckily it's not needed.

Overall Review: Others say it didn't work. It works perfectly for me. I love that I don't have to install any drivers other than the automatic windows ones, "Found new hardware, installing drivers automatically" worked for the first time I've ever seen on a new inexpensive hardware. For $8, what a deal.

Pros: Installed easily. Worked great for a month.

Cons: Just stopped working. Computer will not detect printer. I tried other usb ports, resetting printer, reinstalling printer, power-cycling, etc. I am convinced it's the cable as the computer simply won't detect the hardware device.

Pros: none!

Cons: this isn't quite what was advertised... even though the listed features says "Bi-directional parallel interface communication, Fully compatible with all parallel printers", the connector is actually an older connection type used by antique printers, not the IEEE 1284 standard/DB-25 connector more commonly known as "Parallel" port connection everyone knew just before USB became dominant. So know you know, this is NOT a parallel to USB adapter.

Overall Review: waste of my time and money D=<

Pros: See my previous review

Cons: Died after a month.

Overall Review: I wanted to update my previous review because I bought a new adaptor and the printer was detected immediately. So it definitely was this adaptor that failed.

Pros: Customer Happy, so, so am I.

Cons: None

Pros: Detected and supported by recent vintages of Windows, allows multiple parallel printers without using a switch box (just add a USB hub if you run out of USB ports).

Cons: While the cable is consistently detected as a "USB Printing Support" device, the attached printer is not always detected. My old DeskJet was detected fine (bidirectional support), but I got an "UnknownPrinter" device detected when I attached my LJIII clone, and just had to manually map the printer to the discovered printer port.

Overall Review: Looks like a CD was once included based on the CD-shaped bulge in the package, but you should not need drivers for anything after Windows 2000.

Pros: Cheap, decent cable length.

Cons: Didn't work with my HP Laserjet 4 and Win XP

Overall Review: Tried tweaking the XP driver extensively, turned off bi-directional and print spooling, but it never worked properly. When printer did manage to print, it was mostly junk data or distorted graphics. I've used other similar products with better results.
