Sabrent USB 2.0 to Parallel Printer Cable [Colors May Vary] (USB-DB25F)

A 25 pin printer port on my old Dell desktop died, so I ordered this adapter cable to replace it. In order to utilize my LaserJet 1200 printer with my Samsung laptop, which runs Windows 8, I had to use an adapter to convert the 25 pin port to 9 pin. My initial impression of this cable was that it would not work, but to my surprise it did. It seems that you need to set your computer to automatically download software updates in order to view your LaserJet printer when viewing your devices and printers. When you turn on your computer and printer, the needed software is automatically downloaded when you turn them on. In any case, once the LaserJet printer appeared, I just set that as my default printer and it has been fine since then.

Actually, Vista works with this program, but you have to remember these two things *Brief description here You will want to choose USB for your printer port when setting up the printer you will be connecting this to instead of traditional LPT1, which you might be using with your Your printer should be connected by the cable Once your PC is on, you will see the below screen Once your printer has been configured, turn it on so that it can identify your new **I was about to return this as it did not conform to the standard After reading a few reviews of people who had success with it, I assumed it was functional. I still need to test it with my laptops that use XP and Windows 7 . It does have a few negative aspects though, the most significant of which is that lack of easy-to-access directions makes it quite confusing and frustrating for those of us who might be less technically.

I was unable to install easily on Windows 7 due to the Driver CD not supporting Windows 7, but Sabrent's tech support quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. We were unable to re-establish the connection after the initial failure about 10 minutes ago It failed to install on the same USB port. I installed it on a different USB port with the same result. Following a successful start, the server fails within ten An adaptor that supports parallel ports. Our recommendation is Use an open PCI slot to install a parallel port on I was unable to use the adapter because it worked for some people but not for me. You may want to take a chance if the price is low. Be cautious when making a decision.

The HP722 printers I use at work are old HP722s, so I bought two of these to work with them. To install the drivers, I had to work a little. Chinese (an In my guess, the correct button was the one to press and my guess must have been correct. Eventually, after trying to fix them for more than a day, they work perfectly now. My new printer does not have to be purchased for every building I work in, therefore saving me hundreds of dollars. This is my first time using USB 1, so I was somewhat surprised at their small size. The problem is that they are using outdated equipment that isn't fast enough.

After connecting the USB-to-parallel cable, I turned on the printer and used the parallel end of the printer My desktop usually has the USB-connected end of the printer cable (therefore parallel to the USB end of the printer cable A female parallel cable is called a female parallel cable It looks odd with the two ends parallel together, but the connection is still good even without the two screws on either A small CD containing drivers is available, but it clearly states in the instructions that a computer running ME, 2000, XP, or Vista is not required to utilize it. There was a small complication, however, since I didn't know what my laptop would consider the USB port or the virtual parallel port. As the prompt suggested, I should treat it as a parallel LPT1, however this did not work, and this is most likely why I did not see a HP4P icon when I opened the window through Start. I can add the printer through File>Add Printer but not through Faxes). By adding the printer and following the instructions, you will be able to print. I had to go to the start menu to get the printer to print A printer and fax machine) Browse the files I own properties Select "USB virtual printer port for USB" from the list of ports and it then works.

My Epson dot-matrix printer connected seamlessly with My Laptop and my laptop work with Ubuntu Linux and Windows 10 Printer with a matrix. The printer didn't detect any new devices or drivers when I connected it to either computer, but I was able to get everything working by selecting the USB printer port and manually selecting the printer model.

The cable was disappointing because, when it was connected to my computer (HP Z600 workstation with an HP mobo), it prevented the computer from booting up. of this error was that the bios (at boot time) ran 100 times slower than it normally does. do not have any settings in my BIOS that are particular to my motherboard In addition, I found that the operation of the bios returned to normal after removing the cable. I had to put the cable in my existing booted computer for quite some time before I realized it was the cable causing the issue, because when I first installed it, my computer failed to boot. I worked on it. Later on, when I rebooted the computer, I ran into difficulties. Neither the Cables To Go USB to Parallel nor the USB Cables To Go worked. Keep in mind that these USB to parallel cables are active devices, which require software drivers, and must be regarded as compatible hardware in order to work, depending on your motherboard and your would suggest that you install the cable, test it out, reboot your computer, and if your computer does not like it - replace it with another cable. Make sure the cable is not damaged. There are differences among the different types of people!.
