 Works with Vista and HP September 25, 2008
No problem, I plugged it in and Vista installed the drivers automatically and it all just worked, no problem. HP laptop, HP 932C printer, and Vista. Great price on this item considering I could have easily paid $45 for the equivalent at a big box store. I've been very happy with my printer and have no desire to upgrade while it's still doing a great job, so this cable made it possible to keep it with a new computer.
TRENDnet USB cable is a must July 7, 2008
This cable is a must if you have a Laptop that doesn't have a parallel port. Nothing to install, just plug n play!
Works with VISTA February 14, 2008

When I switched to VISTA, I was worried that my HP LaserJet 6p would have difficulties connecting to a USB connection as my new machine did not have any old printer cable slots. This cable worked perfectly and my VISTA computer recognized the HP 6p printer right away.
 Complete waste of time and money... February 5, 2008

I bought 3 of these for some new Dell desktops but after hours of very poor "help" from Trendnet tech support (including 3 hangups on me) and one shorted OKI 320 power supply I finally decided to give Trendnet the boot. I bought PCI parallel cards and was up and running in minutes.
Great solution for an older printer August 23, 2007

At first, I was looking at a docking station for my new laptop with Vista but they were very expensive and the reviews were mediocre. My HP Laserjet 1100 was the only peripheral that used a 36p parallel port to a 25p serial port on the computer so the cheapest and easiest solution was to get an adapter that goes from a 36p male parallel to a USB port. The reviews I was ready about other adapters states that they did not work with Vista so I was on a quest to find an adapter that worked with Vista. The maker of this adapter stated that it would work with Vista so I bought it. Unfortunately, I didn't realize at the time that the HP serial port to the printer is a 36p but the size of the port was WAY smaller than the one on the new adapter. To solve this problem, I had to buy converter that was a 25p female serial on one side and a 36p female parallel on the other. Even after this manipulation, it still worked great. It's a good product.
