What our customer's say!

"Worked for me", Worked perfectly out of the box with Vista and an old brother HL-1440 laser printer. Windows provided a printer driver automatically and I did not have to use the provided driver for the cable adapter. I suspect the trouble the one-star people are having is more of a quality control issue with the cable rather than an incompatibilty problem. Perhaps I lucked out and got a good one.

"Piece of junk", I've gone through two of these, Amazon replaced the first faulty one that failed after two weeks of use, this one failed after a couple months. I don't even want to bother with trying to warranty this one, it's not worth my time. Unless you want to be without use of your printer and/or have lots of time to waste, I recommend spending a few more dollars to get a decent product that going to last.

"Does not work with Window Vista", This product does not come with a driver for Windows Vista, and it does not work with Windows Vista. The company does not offer a Vista driver on its website either. Don't buy it if you use Vista!

"Doesn't work with the Canon BJC-80", I tried this parallel-to-USB cable/converter with my Canon BJC-80 and, despite other claims, it doesn't work. Don't waste your money -- you get what you pay for!!!

"Not 6-foot; installation CD not readable; just doesn't work", You might as well consider this product a 50-50 gamble, considering that half of the reviews rate 1 star, and half rate 5 stars. For me, it just didn't ever work. For you, random shopper, the effective cost of this gamble on the Sabrent cable is $8.99/50%, or $17.98. I'll write off the $8.95 (free shipping) and try again with another product. By the way, the cable I received is only 4 feet 10 inches.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Don't gamble on this ", Who knows why the people at Sabrent would create a so-called "adapter" cable that works with such a limited number of printers -- but they did.

My experience supports the advice of earlier reviewers who bought this cable, found it useless, then had to turn around and buy a Belkin adapter to get the job done. In this instance, the Sabrent failed to connect a Dell Latitude laptop to a 1200 Series Samsung laser printer. But the Belkin F5U002V1 from Amazon did the trick.

Turns out that if you surf the Web long enough you can find the limited list of printers this Sabrent is made to serve. It should not be this difficult! Ya live and learn.

"Salavaged its cost when I bought a new printer", Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable did not work with Windows Vista on two serial printers: HP LaserJet III and Epson Stylus Photo 820. It does work with Vista and a brand new Brothers HL5250DN. This monchrome laserjet has a serial port connection, so I used the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable to connect it to the CPU. This saved me the cost of buying another USB cable. In hindsight I should have simply bought a new printer, the day I bought my new computer.

"Worked for a day.", I purchased this to hook up my old HP 5MP to my iMac G4. That didn't work at all, despite loading the drivers for the cable and for the printer. Then I plugged the cable into my Intel iMac, and it worked! A miracle! A short-lived miracle. It no longer prints. I've tried everything, it's hopeless. The iMac knows that something is plugged in, it just doesn't know what it is anymore.

Additionally, this cable is barely 5 feet long, nowhere near the 6 feet advertised.

"Smegma UNHAPPY with NO function",
It did not work -- RETURNED.

I gave it 3 stars because it was solidly built and GREAT price ...


"You get what you pay for...", I recently replaced an aging PC with a new one having no parallel port, so this USB-to-Parallel cable seemed like the ideal solution to keep my similarly ancient HP Laserjet running (those old HP printers just keep going and going).

The Sabrent cable was the cheapest one available from Amazon, and I soon found out why.

After some trial and error (and a trip to the Sabrent website for instructions not included with the product), I got it working under Vista ... for about a day. After turning off or suspending either the PC or the printer, Vista kept continually "reacquiring" the USB connection but failed to complete any spooled print job, often locking up the printer in the process. By removing and reinstalling the printer via the Windows Control Panel, I was able to get it working again in maybe 1 out of 3 attempts - not worth the effort.

I finally gave up and ordered another slightly more expensive alternative from Amazon (Cables to Go) which actually came with grammatically correct English instructions and worked flawlessly out of the box.

This may be an issue with Vista (reviewers here with Windows XP seem more likely to get the Sabrent cable working), but my advice is to spend a bit more and avoid the frustration.
