## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extended the life of my ancient dot-matrix printer
*by S***E on March 16, 2025*

I finally had time to try this, long after I bought it, and it worked great. I can use my 1990s dot matrix printer with a modern laptop running Linux (debian). Plug and play... well, OK, had to figure out a few things in Linux, but it really was not hard to get this working. In a more common environment it's probably even easier. If you have the niche need for this product, I can recommend it without hesitation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a dream. Just change your port to USB001 on your printer.
*by D***B on March 14, 2024*

Works like a champ with my Zebra / UPS Thermal 2542 printer that has a parallel port (and serial). The serial port worked fine in UPS, but in third party shipping apps, that use a PDF it was very slow to print the image via the serial port. Plugged this in to the PC, the other end to the parallel port of the thermal printer, changed the port setting of the printer to USB001, and prints instantly. Turns my 10 year old+ thermal printer into a super fast USB version for the price of a cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great adapter, but windows causes problems when using with a laptop
*by L***L on April 15, 2015*

I have been using this for the last few months with an old HP LaserJet 4 that I refurbished myself. I have to say that it works fantastic as long as you do not have to plug & unplug thing. I use mine on a laptop and every time I plug it back in the first print job screws up 7 out of 10 times by printing up to a hundred pages of one line gibberish.This is NOT the cables fault, it is the stupid windows 8.1 printer que!! So everytime I need to use it on my laptop I have to plug it in, turn the printer on, reboot the laptop, wait for both, then run my print jobs. If the gibberish starts then I just cancel the print job, reboot the computer, print a test page, if it's all fine then I restart my print job. I also store all my print jobs in the que so that if there is an error I can just restart that print job, when I am done and the print job was a success I then go and delete them from the que.Again: The adapter works fine, it's windows 8.1's print queue that screws it up!
