Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The cable for my HP Laserjet 4Plus printer ends with a 25 pin male DB25 plug, which is not accepted by modern notebooks like my HP Pavilion dv6500. I decided therefore to order a Dekcell Cable (DC), plug my printer cable into the female DB25 end of the DC, and then plug the USB end of the DC into the notebook. The cable comes in a box labeled WanTeng, and the writing on the box advertises "Includes driver for today's most popular operating systems".
Unfortunately, the box is dated 2003, and examples of "modern operating systems" pictured on the box are Windows98 and Windows2000. This worried me at first, since the operating systems on my two computers are Windows Vista and Windows XP. However, it turned out that there was no need for a driver. Ignoring the CD enclosed in the box, I simply plugged in the DC, chose a USB port for the printer, and the printer worked (both with Vista and XP). There are cables like this for over $30 which are a little longer, but 3 feet was plenty for me, so I've been quite happy with this cable (and the price under $7).
