Review: It took me ordering 3 tables to get one that worked - To be clear the 1st one was a different brand the other 1 was a Is female instead of a male. This one the pictures matched what I got and it works very well. So if you have an older print as it has a parallel port and a newer computer with the USB port this will do it. When you plug it in you should be able to go to the settings of your printer and select the USB port to print to. Just look under the porch tab and then look for the USB connection.
Review: Works great with HP Laserjet 4000 under linux. Update: printer now working in win10. - Ok, the cable itself gets five stars. Win10 significantly less. Puppy Linux (Tahrpup 6.02) immediately saw the printer and started printing stuff it had in queue from failed attempt using a generic converter cable. Win10 sees the printer through this cable. Printer becomes active, but prints out an error message rather than what I want it to print. Obviously it doesnt like the driver. I was using the HP universal 64bit driver for windows. Still trying to find a driver it likes. And no, autoupdates not helping, my win10 magic Microsoft pixies are on strike. UPDATE: Ok made mistake of believing claim that PLC6 universal printer driver works for PLC5 printers. PLC5-only universal printer driver not available under win10 drivers, but it is under HP win7 printer drivers. Downloaded and installed it. Printer now prints under win10.

Ok, the cable itself gets five stars. Win10 significantly less. Puppy Linux (Tahrpup 6.02) immediately saw the printer and started printing stuff it had in queue from failed attempt using a generic converter cable. Win10 sees the printer through this cable. Printer becomes active, but prints out an error message rather than what I want it to print. Obviously it doesnt like the driver. I was using the HP universal 64bit driver for windows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THIS THING WORKS GREAT
*by D***J on October 1, 2016*

This item arrived quickly and appears sturdy. Good flexibility and appears to be made well. I plugged it into the back of the HP Laserjet printer and then plugged the USB into the back of the computer. I didn't do anything else and the computer screen immediately indicated that the computer had found a new USB device. I was skeptical that it would be as easy has that, so I created a test page and sent it to the printer and it printed immediately. No fuss, no muss - THIS THING WORKS! It saved us a lot of time, expense and aggravation. Great for an office setting. Purchase with confidence.
