Reliable product - works on Win 7 64-bit

I am confident that the cable is a reliable product. (No comment on the included driver CD. Not required for Windows 7 and other newer operating systems) Wondering if this cable is for you? I recommend following the first 8 steps below. If your printer driver is listed in step 8, I suspect your chances of this cable working for you are close to 100%. I struggled for a week to get it working. Here's what I ran into: I'm using a very old printer (HP Laserjet iip). When I tried to 'add a printer'…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great adapter but Windows causes problems when used with a laptop

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…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some minor issues

64-bit Windows 7 Professional - worked for me.

I was hesitant to order this as there were several other reviews saying it didn't work for Windows 7 or 64 bit computers. I'm happy to report that it worked perfectly in my case. I'm using a new 64-bit Dell Latitude laptop and printing to a very old but reliable HP LaserJet 2100 TN printer. I was able to install the printer using the Windows Add Printer process with no special steps, settings, or workarounds. I didn't even have to install the drivers that came with the cable. This was fortunate

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Style 90

It works! Computer accessories and peripherals

I bought this to use an old HP laser printer when I bought a new computer that didn't have a parallel printer port, but after trying the branded USB parallel cable it didn't work. I racked my brains when the 'best' cable failed, so I searched the internet for answers on how to get my old printer to work with my new computer. I found that my particular printer doesn't work with the best cables, but does it work with regular cables? I really like my printer and I didn't want to throw away a very…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • protection

Situation: new Win 7 64-bit computer with only USB ports, legacy laser printer with massive parallel guide, how to get them working together"Three adapter cables later (one C2G, two StarTech) and the computer and printer finally communicate through that old and familiar port, LPT1 at best, as its own.) Despite a lot of help from the StarTech Support (no annoying technician waiting, no stupid calls, just real people) their first cable didn't work. , there is no driver disk either. Drivers must…

Pros
  • special offer
Cons
  • old
