Summary: Seems to work fine but it's not 6 feet
Comment: 'Bought this roughly one month ago for a Vista 64 bit system using a ten year old Lexmark color jet printer. It was simply plug & play & works just fine. I paid ~$15.00 which was a good price relative to other prices out there. The Amazon price as I write this is ~$3.00 cheaper which is fair given that the unit I received measured from head to toe is actually only 5 feet. So it might be worth asking if given the new lower price, it is now actually only 4 feet! 'Wasn't worth the hassle to return it but do take note especially if you need the advertised length.
Customer Rating: Summary: Plug and Play with Windows XP and ME
Comment: I didn't even need to use the disk. It works as a Plug 'n Play, meaning you just plug it in and the "new hardware wizard" on your computer finds it and installs the drivers. Loading up the disk probably will just confuse the computer if it's a newer computer.
It let my older HP printer connect to my newer computer. Great product!
Customer Rating: Summary: USB Printer Cable
Comment: This printer USB Cable is perfect. I bought it to connect a printer to my son's laptop. All I had to do is plug it into the laptop's USB port and connect to the printer. The laptop recognized the printer right away - no driver loading necessary. He was able to print in a minute.
Customer Rating: Summary: Does not work well with Vista64
Comment: Occasionally works with my Vista 64 system / HP LaserJet 4L. After first installing, it worked as expected. But after just about every reboot, the printer fails to work. Sometimes, it will start working if you re-install, but frustratingly, not always. The problem is compounded by having multiple users on the system. It wants to install a printer device (on a new virtual USB port) for each one.
So, the upshot is, unless you never reboot your system, this is a big pain to use. It gets 1 star because it did work (and still does, sometimes) and you can't really give a 0 star review here, but really for the frustration it should get 0.
Customer Rating: Summary: Worked for me
Comment: Worked perfectly out of the box with Vista and an old brother HL-1440 laser printer. Windows provided a printer driver automatically and I did not have to use the provided driver for the cable adapter. I suspect the trouble the one-star people are having is more of a quality control issue with the cable rather than an incompatibilty problem. Perhaps I lucked out and got a good one.
