Costumer Reviews
Product is advertised for PCs. Also works with my Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.1) as a replacement for an AppleTalk / Ethernet bridge to an HP LaserJet 6MP. No drivers or setup required, works out of the box.
At first, I was looking at a docking station for my new laptop with Vista but they were very expensive and the reviews were mediocre. My HP Laserjet 1100 was the only peripheral that used a 36p parallel port to a 25p serial port on the computer so the cheapest and easiest solution was to get an adapter that goes from a 36p male parallel to a USB port. The reviews I was ready about other adapters states that they did not work with Vista so I was on a quest to find an adapter that worked with Vista. The maker of this adapter stated that it would work with Vista so I bought it. Unfortunately, I didn't realize at the time that the HP serial port to the printer is a 36p but the size of the port was WAY smaller than the one on the new adapter. To solve this problem, I had to buy converter that was a 25p female serial on one side and a 36p female parallel on the other. Even after this manipulation, it still worked great. It's a good product.
