Editorial Reviews:

With Keyspan USB Parallel Printer Adapter it's a snap to connect parallel printers to the USB port on your PC. Connecting your printer to the USB port leaves the parallel port free for ZIP drives or other parallel devices. Using your USB port for a printer connection also provides a convenient way to connect multiple printers to your PC.

Summary: Keyspan USB Parallel Printer Adapter
Comment: The Positive: It does the job, connecting an Apple eMac to an HP LaserJet 4 and providing basic printer functions.
The Negative: USB to Parallel compatible printer driver software had to be downloaded, Gutenprint for Mac OS X, to enable printing.
Overall, this is a good purchase, and provides a reliable solution to my printing needs!

Summary: Parallel printer adapter
Comment: Cable provided a link between parallel printer port and iMac USB port. Cable does interfere with Leopard OS X regarding putting the computer into sleep mode

Summary: Just What I Needed
Comment: I have an iMac that runs Mac OSX Tiger and an Epson Stylus 600. I crossed my fingers and hoped that this would work. It did! I just hooked up my printer, turned it on, and then clicked on print & fax in system preferences to add my printer. It could not have been easier. I'm so happy that I don't have to buy a new printer.

Summary: Works as Advertised
Comment: I have an old (1995 model)HP 4mp laser jet printer. I turned off the power hooked up the parallel connection, turned on the power, plugged the USB connection into the Mac-- plug and play worked beautifully. No other software or down loaders were necessary. Printing effortlessly now.

Summary: Not for Macs with HP printers at least
Comment: Even with the suggested Gimp-Print drivers loaded, and tried with three different parallel-based HP printers, the printers refused to print. In the Mac's Printer Setup Utility, it sees the cable circuitry, not the printer, to start the confusion. Then you pair a Gimp-Print printer-driver to that and hope for the best. Keyspan's tech support said to use ethernet or a jet-direct card instead. If I had those options I wouldn't have tried this non-working cable! Not ready for Mac prime-time, but this was the only parallel/USB printer cable that I could find that said it worked with the Mac. Keyspan's website is unhelpful and the "Printer Configuration Utility" noted on the cable's documentation has been withdrawn. Beware.
