The 6.0' USB IEEE-1284 Parallel Printer Adapter from C2G uses the USB port on your PC or hub, so your parallel port remains free for a zip drive or scanner. If you have multiple printers, you can eliminate the need for a switchbox by connecting each printer to a USB port. The device is fully transparent to the user, and is ideal for true bi-directional communication. This adapter auto-negotiates hardware recognition for faster protocol setup, and is fully plug-and-play compatible.
Ensure absolute compatibility with your exact printer model number. While third-party cables are fine, always buy OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for internal parts like fusers or maintenance boxes. Available from $15.99.
