StarTech 1.8m USB to IEEE1284 Parallel Adapter

The ICUSB1284 6 ft USB to Parallel Printer Adapter - M/M 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 standard parallel ports, thereby reducing the time spent waiting for a print job or data transfer to be sent. A portable, space-saving solution, the USB to Parallel Printer Adapter is self-powered and provides Plug and Play installation on Windows® based, USB-compliant computers.

• High speed bi-directional parallel port compliant to IEEE-1284 industry standard
