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!

Does not work as advertised

Although this was supposed to be
compatible with HP printers, it was
not with mine. The printer was recognized but the printer language could not be converted properly thru
USB.

      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.

                      This says it's a female adapter. Does that mean that it connects to a female port? or the cable has a female end?

                        This cable should work with this model printer, since it does have a parallel port on the rear apron.

                      • A:

                        Your HP Laserject IEEE 1284 printer cable has two connectors: a male DB25 pin connector (that hooks to your printer) and a MicroCentronics 36 Male connector that would normally connect the printer to your computer. Since you don't have a 36 Female port on your computer to connect to on your computer, but you do have a USB port, then this Belkin USB 6' parallel cable adaper (which has a 36 female connector) would connect to the Centronics 36 Male connector on your existing cable and then the other end of the Belkin adaptor cable which is a USB connector would plug into your USB port on your computer.
