Overview

The USB-Parallel Printer Cable allows PCs, notebooks, laptops, 
and handheld computing devices that support the USB 
specification to print to any parallel printer via the USB with up to 
12 Mbps throughput - which is much faster than standard parallel 
port speeds. The cable provides true plug-n-play and hot 
plugging capability - in which the cable’s presence is 
automatically detected by Windows. 

For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, 
laptops, and handhelds - the cable derives its operating power 
from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky external power 
supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB 
Specification compliant device, the cable supports 
energy-saving suspend and resume operations.
