Customer Reviews

Works great for me!

2007-06-10
Have two of these products for my laptops which do not have parallel ports. They work great and contrary to the folks above work well with all (that's 4 HP) old style printers I have that only have parallel ports. Suggest you install software first without being connected. Shut down. Connect mini port and printer. Then reboot. Printers install automatically on XP.

Not a real parallel port

2006-01-10
I bought this to connect to some electronics via the parallel port. The parallel port never showed up in device manager (winxp). I called tech support and they told me it only works with printers (whatever that means). It does not map to hardware addresses 0x278, 0x378, etc, that a REAL parallel port will do.

Did not work; no support

2004-06-21
Installed the product according to the directions on my Dell Inspiron 5100 running XP Pro. It never recognized the HP OfficeJet Printer. Uninstalled; reinstalled - no luck. Contacted customer support twice. No response.

Poor offering for $50.00

2004-05-29
I bought this because I needed a serial & parallel port on my laptop. It did not work for my HP printer (I should have checked with HP first!) makes me wonder what their "works with hundreds of printers" ad-line means. The driver installation for windows is not something a novice user would want to deal with when it goes wrong (I had to uninstall/reinstall, and even then it's got to be in perfect sequence or the device won't show up).
And for even the slightest power-drain on the USB bus, this device won't deliver -- in all it became nothing more than a lit up chunk of plastic sitting behind my notebook. I've opted to return it for refund.
Oh, and I contacted Keyspan about the printer problem, 7 days later and I've heard nothing. That's not tech support in my book.
