This cable came as advertised. Proper length and worked "out of the box." I DID take the previous reviews into consideration by not plugging the printer in until Windows XP loaded the drivers for the USB plug. After drivers for the USB were loaded, I plugged in a Lexmark 3200 ink jet printer, and Windows loaded the drivers for the printer.
This printer cable does not work with an iMac running Snow Leopard and an HP 3200M printer.
This Sabrient device just does not do anything good. It's not designed by Sabrient thow, It's made by TRENDnet. This product is really not working with my printer. Tried a lot of different drivers and nothing. If there were a 0 stars I would of give that. Instead of creating a virtual LPT port(parallel port) it just kind of creating a printing support. I had trouble with the serial port as well, but the serial to usb worked well, quick.
It actually creates the port (COM). I have a POS system that has no parallel port attached. Very good product. It's not what you want I promise. Check something else. Hopefully this will help you to chose a good product. DO NOT BUY SABRIENT.
I installed it and it worked once. Then it stopped and we had to keep fixing it. But after a few more tries, it stopped working altogether and we gave up.
Bought this cable to use with HP 5MP printer (old but excellent) and new iMac. I again sent them a request for help with emphasis that it was for a Mac and their literature and packaging indicated it would work with Macs. could not get it to print. When I asked for help Sabrent originally sent information to install on windows (PC). This was repeated many times to them and I have not heard from them for weeks. I must state the printer worked fine in the past.
