Works great so far! Inexpensive solution to my cabling problem.August 27, 2010 L. June(Brighton, MI) Despite my reluctance to buy this product after reading a couple bad reviews, I'm really glad I went through with the purchase. Item arrived in a timely fashion and I didn't even need to use the CD since I'm running Win7. Great solution for $15 including shipping, when the only cable like this at my local B-Buy cost $35 !!! Thanks Sabrent!
Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB Printer CableAugust 16, 2010 Sharon L. Wall(Sapulpa, OK) I was so happy to find this cable, as I purchased a new laptop and could not use my old printer.
This cable works great! I had a little trouble with the drivers installing on windows 7, but windows
update fixed that problem! I would recommend this to all those who want to keep their old printers!
Didn't work with HP DV8T Windows 7 laptopAugust 10, 2010 warchildnyc(New York, NY USA) I failed to see what was missing in the description, but apparently this type of cable does not work with Windows 7. Waste of $10 for me, gave to a friend who runs XP on his machines.
Does what it is supposed toAugust 5, 2010 S. Waiblinger I had no issues getting this to work with an old printer on Vista. I have since upgraded both my printer and operating system so that I don't need this anymore, but it worked for years when I had it.
It didn't work on Windows 7 Dell XPSAugust 1, 2010 geebee509(Tallahassee FL) I had hopes it would save me a few bucks, rather than buying and installing a PCI parallel printer port. Tried to use it with a HP Laserjet 6MP but no luck. Windows 7 seemed to recognize that a new device was added but could not "find" it. The included mini-cd was no help.
Should have just bitten the bullet and spent $25 for the PCI card solution.
