Most Helpful Positive Review

New Life to Experienced Printer

Upgrading to a new computer system after 5 years, I didn't realize the new computers didn't have a parallel port for my 17 year old printer. I was thoroughly delighted when I attached this cable to my printer and new computer and the new computer found the driver for my printer within minutes. It was nice to be able to print with my reliable old friend in the new environment. It's nice when technology recognizes peripheral needs and then helps us integrate the new with the experienced.

The cable is as long as my previous parallel to parallel port cable so no moving of equipment was necessary.

I am grateful this product allows me to keep using familiar equipment with my new equipment. THANK YOU!

Most Helpful Negative Review

Disappointed

I could not use the adaptor for its intended purpose. I had hoped to connect an old printer directly to my laptop via the adapter. Nothing I did, including following all instructions, proved helpful.
Not all was lost, however. I am using the old printer as a stand-alone laser copier to good advantage.
I want to add that I have purchases many Belkin products in the past. This is the first time I have been disappointed. Usually their products do exactly what the manufacturer claims.

Comments about Belkin USB Parallel Cable Adapter:

This adapter does not work with Vista. When I had trouble getting it to work, I contacted Belkin and that was what they told me. I Installed it on my IMac and it worked fine but would not work under Parallels. I could not get it to work on my PC also.
