This USB to Parallel Printer Adapter allows USB capable PCs to print to any standard parallel printer, converting a USB port into a Centronics (male) connector for direct connection to a parallel printer.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.A portable, space-saving solution, the USB to Parallel Printer Adapter is self-powered and provides Plug and Play installation on any USB-compliant computer running Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista.
