This USB (Universal Serial Bus) to Parallel Printer Adapter allows USB (Universal Serial Bus) capable PCs to print to any standard parallel printer, converting a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port into a Centronics (male) connector for direct connection to a parallel printer. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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 (Universal Serial Bus) to Parallel Printer Adapter is self-powered & provides Plug & Play installation on any USB (Universal Serial Bus)-compliant computer running Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/ Vista.
