Reviewing: Dynex Usb Cable For Parallel Port
Purchased at: Best Buy     Price: $40.00 USD

I have two older printers that still work just great, but they have a parallel port.All of the newer computers have USB ports, so this cable is great if you want to convert an older parallel port printer for use with a newer computer.

The cable has a parallel port plug at one end for plugging into your older printer, and the other end is the USB plug for plugging into your newer computers.It works really great, and I have put it to use with the few older printers that I have.I feel that if you have an older model printer that still works and does a good job, it would be a shame to ditch it just because it can't be plugged into the newer model computers.With this cable, you don't have to worry about a still-working older printer going to waste.It's such a simple concept, and it really does enable you to get all of the use you can out of an older printer.

The cable is about 6 feet in length and made very well by Dynex.Once my older printers go out of commission, I guess I won't have any use for it, but for the time being, it really is helping me to get my money's worth out of my older printers.
