Amazon.com Product Description The Sabrent USB-to-Parallel, 6-foot printer cable is the best solution to convert USB signals to parallel port signals, and it is also compatible with most printers' supported drivers. With a bi-directional technique, this cable makes the communication completely from USB port to parallel port or completely from parallel port to USB port. The model also makes the communication work with both a PC and a Macintosh. This USB-to-parallel printer cable is typically used to connect a printer to a USB port on a PC. It connects a desktop or laptop computer with on-board USB to a parallel interface printer.

Does not work with Mac and HP printerMarch 10, 2010 R. Hoenle This printer cable does not work with an iMac running Snow Leopard and an HP 3200M printer.
Don't buy !!!February 24, 2010 SA(CO, USA) This product is really not working with my printer. I have a POS system that has no parallel port attached. This Sabrient device just does not do anything good. Instead of creating a virtual LPT port(parallel port) it just kind of creating a printing support. It's not what you want I promise. Tried a lot of different drivers and nothing. Check something else. I had trouble with the serial port as well, but the serial to usb worked well, quick. It's not designed by Sabrient thow, It's made by TRENDnet. Very good product. It actually creates the port (COM). Hopefully this will help you to chose a good product. If there were a 0 stars I would of give that. DO NOT BUY SABRIENT !!!
Sabrent 6 foot Printer CableFebruary 2, 2010 Louise Alpert(NY USA) I installed it and it worked once. Then it stopped and we had to keep fixing it. But after a few more tries, it stopped working altogether and we gave up.
Sabrent unhelpfulJanuary 25, 2010 Unhappy Larry(South Carolina) Bought this cable to use with HP 5MP printer (old but excellent) and new iMac. could not get it to print. When I asked for help Sabrent originally sent information to install on windows (PC). I again sent them a request for help with emphasis that it was for a Mac and their literature and packaging indicated it would work with Macs. This was repeated many times to them and I have not heard from them for weeks. I must state the printer worked fine in the past.
HP 697C & Windows Version 7 workingJanuary 8, 2010 Paul J. Powers Purchased this item to connect to an HP 697C printer from
a new PC that did not have any parallel ports. After reading
the reviews, was very concerned with such products working with
Windows Version 7, decided on the Sabrent. After plugging in
the cable, the software was automatically installed and identified
the 697C as a 690. Did not have to use the CD included at all.
Tried to do a test page, did not work well. Went in the printer
wizard, changed to the HP 697C, rebooted, and all works very well.
I'm very happy with the performance, quality, and overall price.
Highly recommended considering it was way to easy to get it running
with Windows Version 7.
