Description
With this printer cable, you can still use your older parallel printers with your newer computer, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming equipment upgrades.It converts a printer's 36-pin parallel port for use with a USB port on a Desktop or Laptop Computer. The USB interface provides a much faster data transfer rate than a standard parallel port, thereby reducing the time waiting for a print job to be sent to your printer.
If you have multiple printers, you can eliminate the need for a switch box by connecting each printer to a USB port.
Important Note: This cord is only compatible with 36-pin parallel ports. There is 25 pin and 36 pin parallel port so please check the pins of your printer before you order.
