Cable Works Fine, But Macs Aren't Automatic

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015

Size: ParallelVerified Purchase

I would give the cable itself 5 stars but the overall experience only 4. I wanted to use it between my iMac and an old Okidata OL400e laser printer. The Mac OS recognized the cable immediately and named it " USB2.0-Print" (initial space intended) even with no printer on the other end. Even when I did hook up the printer the System Preferences said it was offline, and I couldn't get it to detect otherwise. BTW my iMac is dual-boot, and the Windows XP side drove the printer just fine - so I knew it was some sort of OS problem. Sabrent Support was no help at all; their entire written response was "You must install the drivers for the printer you are attaching." Anyway I got extremely lucky and saw some web talk about something called USBTB, whose purposes is to help Macs through this. I cleared all my printer settings, then installed the USBTB, which insisted I pick from some HP front-end drivers even though my printer wasn't HP. Again I got lucky and picked one which satisfied the software, to the point at which I could redefine the printer settings (in System Preferences) to the Gutenprint OL400e driver in my system. It was trial-and-error and it mostly didn't work, until it did. Even now the system tells me my Oki is "idle" when in fact it is turned off - but it works when I sent a print job its way, which was what I wanted. Anyway the cable does its job, but I wish it had been easier to get set up!

New life for my LaserJet 2100 - vintage 1998. Parallel "Centronics" (IIEEE 1284) port not supported by my current Windows 10 PC. With this converter cable to USB 2.0, my PC immediately recognized the printer and installed a driver. Truly "Plug & Play for effortless installation."

Didn't work for laser engraver

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023

Size: DB25 ThumbscrewsVerified Purchase

Tried to use this to connect a laser engraver to a PC, and it wouldn't work at all. I verified I had the right drivers and everything. The engraver shows up, but something with the way the USB is involved made the engraver unhappy. I used a PCIe to parallel card and that worked perfectly.

Epson ActionPrinter 5000+ ESCP P2 Quiet (Model P630B) connected to Windows 7 (64-bit)

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015

Size: ParallelVerified Purchase

After lots of trial and error I finally got my ancient Epson ActionPrinter 5000+ ESCP P2 Quiet (Model P630B) impact printer connected to Windows 7 (64-bit) and printing! (Suck it, ink-wasting, head-clogging ink cartridge printers!) I am incredibly ecstatic about this after wasting heaps of MONEY and TIME on modern color ink jet printers when all I want to do is print out black and white documents. Sometimes the old technology is just more reliable.

Installation Guide:
1) Plug the Sabrent cable into the back of your ancient printer.
2) Turn on the printer.
3) Plug the cable into a USB port on your PC. Windows should automatically install drivers for the USB device, and when it's done it will report the following devices as "Ready to use": "USB Printing Support" and "No Printer Attached".
4) Open the control panel's Printer listing, and select "Add a printer."
5) Select "Add a local printer."
6) When prompted to "Choose a printer port," select "Use an existing port," and from the drop-down list find and select the item containing "Virtual printer port for USB." It may look something like "USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)."
7) When prompted to "Install the printer driver," if you cannot find your ancient printer listed, click "Windows Update." The installer will contact MicroSoft's online database to search for more printer drivers. This WILL take several minutes.
8) If you still cannot find your printer, refer to your printer's official documentation (a web search may be necessary) to see if it lists any "compatible drivers." (My printer's manual lists 9 alternative printers with compatible drivers. I selected "Epson LQ-570+ ESC/P 2" which was a successful match.)
9) Click "Next" and continue the printer installation to the end as normal.
10) Once the installation is complete and you are prompted to print a test page, print a test page to confirm your success!

Troubleshooting:

1) If your print job sits in the queue for a long time before eventually changing its status to "out of paper" even though the printer is clearly not having any paper issues, your cable probably is not plugged all the way into the printer. Ensure the plug is in all the way and try again. (After my first hour of trying to get the printer to work, I discovered the cable wasn't plugged in all the way, despite the cord catch successfully latching.)

2) If your printer is printing random garbage, you probably installed the wrong driver. Install a different driver and try again.

3) Consult the original manual for your printer. Fortunately, many old technical manuals can be found in PDF form on the internet.

4) If you unplug the USB cable from your computer, then plug it back into a different port, your computer WILL think you have plugged in an entirely new device. You will have to either plug the USB cable back into the same port you originally used, or reinstall the printer drivers.
