 Cord works great!! June 28, 2010
M. Gambello (Houston, TX)
After a little trouble getting old cord unplugged from within old HP 1200 laser printer, the cord worked right away. No problems.
 usb-to parallel i-o gear June 2, 2010

I tried to connect this item but i never got it working.
I bought this to connect my receipt printer to my laptop but it never showed my printer.
I would never buy such a product again.
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.
The perfect solution! November 6, 2009
G. Demos (Chicago, IL)
As mentioned in other reviews, it worked right out of the box! I just purchased that doesn't have parallel ports (none of the new ones do) and was concerned I'd have to scrap my 10-year-old HP LaserJet workhorse (they go on forever). Even the savvy PC mavens who built my computer said I'd have to scrap it. Thanks to few minutes of online research and this wonderful Iogear GUC1284B USB to Parallel Adapter, I'm ecstatic! After agonizing with the joys of the blister package, I plugged the parallel end of the cable to my printer and USB end to my computer -- selected a printer driver in Windows and..amazingly...printed a test page faster than I'm used to with my HP. Though the Iogear comes with a drive disc, it's not needed for Windows 2000 & XP...just "plug & play."
Few solution products have done precisely what they're intended to do without hassle, if they work at all; but this wonderful adapter is perfect...for less than 20 bucks! Highly recommended!
Didn't even have to install the printer! October 13, 2009
D. Orders
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!
