HP LaserJet 4L parallel printer to USB port

21 January 2010

LogiLink USB to Parallel Cable, D-SUB 25 pin; USB to Parallel Printer Port Cable, 25 pin female socket; from Cablestar.

I bought this cable to connect my 15-year-old HP LaserJet 4L parallel printer to the USB 2.0 port on my new 64 bit Windows 7 Dell Desktop (which has no parallel ports).

I ordered the cable from Cablestar on Thursday night at 9pm, it was dispatched on Friday, and arrived, well-wrapped, early on Saturday morning, by Royal Mail First Class Standard Post.

The cable was black, unlike the image, and slightly longer than described (1.75 rather than 1.5m), but otherwise was exactly as advertised.

I plugged it into the USB 2.0 port of my new desktop which recognised it immediately. I attached the other end of the cable to the parallel cable from my LaserJet. I then switched on the LaserJet. My computer didn't immediately recognise the printer but I was able to add it, without difficulty, via the Control Panel:

Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add a printer > Add a local printer > Use an existing port (Virtual Printer Port for USB)

selecting my LaserJet printer from the (long) list of HP printers available.

The cable comes without drivers or manual but neither were necessary. The printer works perfectly with my new desktop.

I can also print from my 7-year old Windows XP Dell laptop via the USB 1.0 port rather than the parallel printer port, which I was using previously.

I simply plugged the cable into the USB 1.0 port of my laptop, rather than the parallel port, and added the printer via the Control Panel. No new drivers were necessary.

One small flaw - both the plug on the cable and the plug on my printer cable have retaining screws - nonetheless my printer works perfectly via the USB ports of both my old Windows XP laptop and my new Windows 7 desktop.

I hope this is helpful.

HP LaserJet 1100 to laptop USB2 port

13 June 2011

I bought this lead to connect my old HP LaserJet 1100 printer to my new laptop. The printer has one of the old 25-pin parallel port connectors and was working fine when my old PC broke. After reading other reviews on Amazon, I decided to buy the lead to try to connect it to my new Acer laptop running 64-bit Windows 7.

Connection and setup were easy. The driver for the 1100 is included within Windows 7 and now I simply plug it in to a USB port and it is instantly ready to print, with exactly the same speed and quality as it did before. The female parallel port connector on this lead has screw threads to accept the small screws on the end of the original printer lead, ensuring that it remains connected. The only thing to remember is to plug it into the same USB socket, or the laptop will create a "replica" printer in its list of available printers.

An excellent buy that has enabled me to continue to use an old printer that is in good working order.

It works

As it says, it is to connect printers only and it does the job perfectly. I have used it on an XP platform and it worked flawlessly. No fuss. Windows 7 also recognized it without any fiddling about as Windows 7,surprisingly, has drivers for this. You may have to allow windows to search for updates to its built in drivers but that takes a couple of minutes at most. The best way to get this going is to install the printer first; then attach the USB cable and allow it time to install the drivers and then finally connect the parallel cable from the printer. It all works really well. My old reliable parallel printer the HP LJ1100 is back in action.

Worked but settings needed adjusting for my printer

4 April 2011

Verified Purchase

Bought from Northern Cabling.

The cable was a good length - almost 1.9m.

In XP I had to install the printer manually, choosing the USB001 port. In Vista everything installed automatically.

On both my XP and Vista PCs I would get pages with a few junk characters at the top when I tried to print to my HP LaserJet 5, if I'd turned on the printer after the PC. This was fixed by deselecting the 'Enable bidirectional support' option in the Ports tab of the printer properties.

Mine had holes to accept retaining screws, which is as pictured, and correct.

Rapid delivery and no real problems getting it accepted by the operating system

Delivery was prompt. It took 2 or 3 attempts to get the printer (now on USB) accepted by my windows XP-operating system. But suddenly it was working and is now just fine. No real problems to report.
