Review: It works very well - I purchased this adaptor to connect a 2006 Davis weather station to a new computer. Computers built in the past 15 years do not have serial connectors (db 9). It and the high quality drivers connected seamlessly to my HP-Windows 11 computer. My serial connected Weather Station is now posting to the weather underground site on The WWW.
Review: Just what I needed - This cable was perfect...I had an old printer and wanted to hook it up to my new laptop. The cable worked fine. However, the trouble is that my laptop did not support the old printer. So, if you are trying to do what I was trying to do, save yourself some time and money and make sure your laptop supports the printer first. I gave the cable away with the old printer.

## Features

- This adapter cable allows you to connect a printer equipped only with Centronics interface to the USB port of a computer or notebook.
- Since today's PCs usually do not have a parallel Centronics port any more, the adapter is ideally suited for the operation of aging printers.
- The Centronics cable has a USB type A connector and a 36 pin Centronics connector it offers a transfer speed of 1.2 MB/s and is backward compatible to the USB standard 1.1.
- Since a parallel Centronics interface only supports a data transfer rate of 150 KBit/s by default, printing is also faster on PCs with a parallel interface via the adapter.
- The USB to Parallel cable supports Plug&Play and can be connected during operation under Windows, the cable is recognized immediately after connection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used as parallel port to usb port adapter on an old Canon BJC-80 or 85 printer with a newer model Dell or other laptop with success?**
A: Hi,I purchased the usb adapter and it fit....I thought I had done it right until I realized that my laptop did not recognize that printer. Check your laptop manual, and if your printer shows up as recognized by the laptop, the port will work fine. I had to end up getting a new printer, and donating the old printer to a school.

*by M***L on August 2, 2016*

I knew when I saw that this was coming from Germany that I was going to get a good product. I've been burned a few times buying cords from unscrupulous companies that are just unloading junk that doesn't even match the description, and by the time you figure out what happened, it's not worth the hassle of sending it back. But this was exactly what I needed for my old hp InkJet 4100. Of course, setting up the software is a whole other headache -- but the cord does exactly what it is intended to.
