Rated 5 out of 5 bySteve from Windows 10 - HP4000 Laserjet SolutionJust upgraded to Windows 10. Still wanted to use my old HP 4000TN laserjet printer, which no longer has drivers/supported in Windows 10 via TCP/IP. This cable made it work. Very satisfied!

Rated 5 out of 5 byHalfalemon from Tripplite enabled me to print with my old printerWhen I upgraded to Win10, I was unable to print with my old HP 4000 LaserJet. I thought I needed a new driver. In one of the forums, someone mentioned that the problem was not because of an outdated driver, but, rather, the brand of cable was critical in making a functioning connection. I figured that I'd take a chance and buy the brand of cable named to replace the one I was using at the time. Once I installed the new Tripplite cable, I was able to start printing immediately - without a new driver. Since then, I have ordered other Tripplite cables for other applications based on my brief and successful experience with the first cable I purchased.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJackTripper from Okidata ML320 printerWe replaced a PC and the new one didn't have a parallel port. So we coupled the U206-006-R with a 25' USB extension cable so that the new PC could continue using the printer. Thanks, Tripp-Lite.
