Review on 🖨️ 6ft USB to DB25 Parallel Printer Adapter Cable - 2m USB to IEEE-1284 Printer Cable - USB A to DB25 M/F (ICUSB1284D25) by StarTech.com: Improved SEO-friendly Product Name by Adam Bates

I've been using this for a few months with an old HP LaserJet 4 that I refurbished myself. I have to say it works fantastic as long as you don't have to plug and unplug things. I use mine on a laptop, and every time I reconnect it to the first print job, it made a mistake 7 times out of 10, printing up to a hundred pages of gibberish on a single line. It's NOT the fault of the cables, it's stupid Windows 8.1. Que Drucker! Every time I need to use it on my laptop, I have to plug it in, turn on the printer, restart the laptop, wait for both, and then start the print jobs. If gibberish starts, I just cancel the print job, restart the computer, print a test page if everything is ok, then start the print job again. I also keep all my print jobs in a queue so in case of an error I can just restart that print job, when I'm done and the print job was successful I go and remove them from the queue. Again, the adapter works fine, it's the Windows 8.1 print queue!
