Excellent product and keeps my 15 year old HP LaserJet functioning with USB connection and Vista.
Works fine with Mac OS X April 12, 2010

Some USB to parallel cables won't work with Apple OS X but this one will. Unfortunately the item's description does not mention OS X at all, but there's no need. Plug it in and it works. Throw the driver CD in the trash; if you have an Apple Mac you don't need to mess with drivers and other annoyances.
It gets better: If you have an Apple AirPort Base Station (Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule) the IOGear cable can be used to connect your printer to your wireless network. Plug it into the base station's USB port and your printer will magically appear in OS X's Print dialog under Bonjour Printers.
Snow Leopard doesn't support Appletalk. Fortunately my Appletalk printers also have parallel ports, so by using this cable I won't have to replace perfectly good printers when I upgrade to OS X 10.6.
Just remember this cable is for printing only. The print function of multifunction printers ought to work but other functions such as scanning probably won't.
Works as intended. May 2, 2008

I got this for my Netgear ReadyNAS+ to use my parallel printer with it (since it only has USB ports). It worked out of the box with nothing needed to be installed on the ReadyNAS system.

As advertised. Worked right out of the box with no glitches of any kind. XP Pro operating system required no drivers. Good value.
Didn't even have to install the printer! October 13, 2009

I took this straight from the package, plugged the cable into my 15 year old HP LaserJet 4L, plugged the other end into my computer's USB port and...nothing! I thought it wasn't working, so I went to Printers and Faxes (I'm using XP Pro S3) to install the printer, and there it was! Printed a test page and it came out perfectly. It doesn't get easier than that!
