5.0 out of 5 stars Trustworthy long printer cable, March 21, 2002

By	Engforglemmegei (Chatham, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

When your all-in-one HP T65 printer suddenly won't scan you wonder if it's the cable or the printer giving the trouble. Use this Belkin IEEE 1284 cable with its easy-to-fasten connectors and easy-to-twist posts to eliminate a non-IEEE 1284 cable as the cause. A 10 foot cable is a good length when your printer is over on a bookcase. As for my printer problem, it turned out that the parallel port on my Dell Latitude LM had developed a bad pin 1. Imagine. The cable is still going great.
