Works like a charm! Even on an OLD HP!

I didn't have the experience of plugging it in and printing.I have an older HP which did not have a compatible driver for Windows XP, I went to BELKIN website, called customer service and they directed me to an HP download to update the printer!It took less than 5 minutes and I am printing from my dell computer now....

Worked seamlessly right out of the box... excellent!

I wasn't sure this would work, but gave it a shot anyway - I just got a new laptop with only USB ports (no parallel) and didn't want to have to buy a new printer too.Anyway, it literally took about 2 minuts from opening the box, to successfully printing.I'm running Windows XP, and it's a new Dell laptop and an old Canon BJC-2000 printer.I haven't tried yet and don't know if the scanner cartridge (that works with the BJC-2000) will also work with this cable, because it says on Belkin's Web site that...

will NOT work for Epson printers!!!

The Belkin will not work with ANY Epson parallel printers.No choice but to buy the Epson USB Adapter Kit.Check the Epson site for details to see which kit if any will fit your printer.Buying the USB Adapter Kit from Epson directly is the cheapest way to go!...

Not worth the hassle

I bought the Mac compatible version of this product and was sorely disappointed on many levels.Although the instructions are explicit and easy to follow, the procedure didn't work.I had to install the software first and then hook up the cable.The software was a breeze to install, and my laser printer did work.But it cut the print quality from 600dpi down to 300dpi.It also slowed down the printing process, hanging up after printing a mere two pages.The next day, I booted my system and turned on my...
