Use this adapter cable to connect your inkjet, laser or high speed printer to a computer without a parallel port, or free up the parallel port for a zip drive or scanner. Forget the hassles of IRQ sharing by adapting your printer to USB. If you have multiple printers, you can eliminate the need for a switchbox by connecting each printer to a USB port.
The device is fully transparent to the user and is ideal for true bi-directional communication. This adapter auto-negotiates hardware recognition for faster protocol setup, and is fully plug-and-play compatible.
C2G 6ft USB to DB25 Parallel Printer Adapter Cable is rated4.26 out of5 by101.
Rated 5 out of 5 byDave from Read the fine PrintIf you could read the fine print you wouldn't buy this. its not listed under the tech specs."NOTE: this adapter is not capable of supporting any device other than a basic parallel printer. This adapter does not support multi-function devices, e.g. PRINT/COPY/SCAN/FAX or all-in-one printers. This adapter is not recognized by the computer as a parallel or LPT port, it is recognized as USB Printing Support."What a waste of my time and shipping :(

Rated 5 out of 5 byIS Support from CautionWorks Very well for standard line printers, but does not work well at all for non-standard uses such as label or barcode printers. Recommend using parallel expansion card for non-std LPT uses.

Rated 5 out of 5 byDosapper from DOS app only prints to LPT1I am running an old dos app that only has the option to print to LPT1. I changed out the computer and there was no LPT1 port so I thought I would try this cable. I could not get it to print to LPT1. If you are just looking for a way to make an old printer work, this will do the trick. It just doesn't work for my needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 byES from Windows 7 & HP Color LaserJet 4500I needed a cable that could talk an out-of- production HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer.HP Printers and cables have a non-standard cable connection to the printer with a standard parallel connection to a 25pin parallel hook-up.This product was able to connect to the 25pin parallel end of the HP cable and provided the appropriate USB drivers to operate with Windows 7 software.

Rated 5 out of 5 byApplegater from A Perfect Match To My Old Laser PrinterMy inkjet printer was breaking my budget. I had an old, but reliable HP Laserjet 5L sitting idle because all my computers are now USB ported. I purchased your #16899 USB to Parallel adapter,and followed the installation instructions for Windows XP. Checked the Control Panel for installed printers and there was my 5L, ready to print. I printed a Word document and a Xcel document. Flawless! Thanks for an excellent solution.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTwo Peppers from Cable Saved My Printer AgainI have an Epson Stylus Photo 700 printer that has been my workhorse and it has served me well. Every time I am forced to get a new computer, I have to do all kinds of special stuff in order not to have to throw the printer away. The 6ft USB to DB25 IEEE-1284 Parallel Printer Adapter Cable saved me this time and my Epson started printing as soon as I installed the new cable. I had no problems at all and I was able to save my Epson 700 printer one more time.

Rated 5 out of 5 byAl from Problem SolvedI had a problem getting 2 older printers with centronics connectors, to work though the USB port on my laptop.I tried the standard USB to Centronics cable, but I could not get any of them to work. I ordered this USB to DB25 cable and used it with the old style printer cable and it worked. From what I understand only a few of the older printers have the problem, this cable solved it for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRudy from Simple, easy way to hook up old printerI needed to hook up my old LaserJet 6L because I'm sick of replacing Epson ink cartridges every two weeks. This cable allowed me to easily plug my old parallel port cable into the adapter cable, and then into my computer's usb port. I then downloaded the printer drivers and was off to the races in no time. I could not be more pleased with this cable.

Rated 5 out of 5 bylifeafternopd from Perfect for the task at handIn purchasing a new desktop, the printer connection required the use of a USB port. My older, yet reliable, laser jet printer utilized a parallel cable. So to still use my reliable printer, I had to go from parallel to USB. The 6' USB to DB25 IEEE-1284 Printer Cable by Cables To Go was perfect for the task at hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 byvpero2001 from 6ft USB to DB25 IEEE-1284 Parallel PrintThe cable is used to connect an older but dependable HP printer to a mixed network of Macs and XP machines. It worked with a plugin and a reboot on most machines. Some additional instructions re: making the cable function in the Mac environment would have helped, but some experimentation revealed the proper settings. All in all, a good purchase and a helpful tool. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 byChuck from Perfect! Just As Advertised.Like many, I brought a new computer home only to find out that there was no way to connect to my existing printer, except through an adapter. This one couldn't be more perfect. Got great telephone direction, and then bought it on line. Plugged it in, and I'm back printing again. I could live without the silver color, with just basic black, but that's a minor quibble compared to the cost of a new printer. Great service and product.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRelieved printer user from Saved me buying a new printer! Yippee!After my computer crashed, I bought a new oneand realized after I got it home that the therewas no computer port that matched my old HPprinter which still runs perfectly. AfterHP phone support telling me my only remedy wasto buy a new printer, and after purchasing two other cables that fit my connections but wouldn't install drivers because my printer is also a scanner, and after 2 months of messingaround with no printer, I tried this cable with low expectations. Voila! it worked exactly as described! Yippee!!! Believe or not, I rarely use exclamation points but I am so happy that I don't have to buy a new printer, I'm splashing them all over the place. One thing to know:follow the easy device installation instructions in the little blue book that comes with the cableand you will have no problems. Just pluggingit in (as in "plug and play") doesn't work.

Rated 5 out of 5 byApplegater from Absolutely Meets My Expectations!This cable adapter appears to be as well built as any assembly I've encountered, and as a retired manufacturing engineer, I've seen many. It's beefy, but not over-designed. I use this adaptor between my old, but reliable, LaserJet 5L and my laptop running Vista. I simply plugged it in and went to work checking it out. It has been in service for 3 weeks and, so far, has done the job every time. I don't notice any apparent time delay as compared to my inkjet printer. Five stars for this one. For me, it doesn't get any better!

My HP Laser Jet 6P is still a much better printer then any ink-jets which drink ink by gallons. This cable let me keep it and I'm very happy for that.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRachel the eye doctor from Yay! My printer's back!I had to get an adapter to connect my new Dell with a 2002 HP printer. The adapter's long cord made it easy for me to hook them up, and I no longer have to stretch my loose printer cable. I had to reinstall the printer, but the Dell did most of the work. I'm very happy that it arrived in only 2 days too.

Rated 5 out of 5 byLazyduck from IEEE-1284 USB Printer CableCable connects to printer cable not to printer. Can be used to extend a parallel cable to USB port. Flimsy clear plastic over shield cable construction.

Rated 5 out of 5 bydesktop support from Perfect SolutionI was afraid I would have to give up my printer since my new laptop doesn't have a parallel port. Thank goodness your company had the perfect solution. We have since bought 3 more for some of our other users. I just want to say "Thank you" for the perfect part. Now I don't have to give up my printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 bytseverns from Works Great!Used this cable to connect old HP5 printer to new Windows 7 computer, worked immediately after Windows downloaded driver. My only complaint is that it makes an already slow printer take even longer to print but it is not a primary printer in our office (set up just for the bosses use).

Rated 5 out of 5 byJim from It Worked GreatIt worked great in connecting the parallel port on my printer to the USB port on my laptop.I was also hoping it would work connecting a floppy drive parallel port to my computer but it did not. It's possible I don't have the proper drivers in my computer.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTek Gal from Awesome Adapter Cable!This adapter has been the perfect solution to connect our legacy thermal ticket printers with parallel interfaces, to new PCs that only have USB ports. Just connect the printer and plug the USB connector to the PC, and you're all set. No software drivers are needed. And you can't beat the cost, versus having to buy new ticket printers with USB connectivity.

Rated 5 out of 5 byDave At The Office from Just what I needed.The old computer went down; had to get a new one... Windows 7, no 25-pin port for my HP LaserJet 6L printer. Got USBs, though. What to do? Google it! The answer: Cables To Go, and this parallel to USB adapter. Did it work? Just like it said on the package: "Plug and Play." Windows 7 recognized the printer immediately. I opened the Devices and Printers folder to add the 6L and it was already there. I made it my default printer and started printing out forms; a very happy camper.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNWPa from Plug & Play!!!Worked great. Connected an older parallel HP printer to Win7 64 bit USB 2.0 we use for printing labels. Plugged in the adapter, the drivers loaded from Windows and we were in business.

Rated 5 out of 5 byDTCGuy from Right cable but specs didn't give enoughHas fixed nuts that could not be removed to interface with printer with fixed nuts so the pins would not enter the opposite paralel port on printer and make contact. It left a gap. I could not use it.

Rated 5 out of 5 byAl from It works greatI had problem trying to use a USB to centronics printer cable. I understand only a few of the older printers have this problem. This one worked right away no problems, just attach your old printer cable to the DB25 connector and you are set to go.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJLowen1 from Simple solution fix but for complex not so muchDepending on your needs- This would possibly work fine for simple solutions, If you need it for a more complex network of printers and programs you might want to skip it and buy the parallel port and get that in your desktop/workstation slot if applicable.
