StarTech.com 1 Port PCI Express Dual Profile Parallel Adapter Card - SPP/EPP/ECP - 2x DB25 IEEE 1284 PCIe Parallel Card

Need to connect my old HP deskjet 500 printer to my new Window 7 computer which does not come with a printer port. Try cheaper USB-to-parallel port adapter but did not work. This product works the minute I installed into my computer. Would recommend to anyone need to connector old printer to new computer without printer port.

Installed this Win 7 approved parallel adapter in a PCI Express slot to obtain a parallel port for an old HP LaserJet 3330 on an HP Pavilion Elite without difficulty. The CD that came with the adapter had old drivers on it and I had to get the updated ones at [...]. Of course this was after talking to support when the card would not install. It should be noted that an USB to Parallel cable does not work on this Windows 7 Machine for a parallel printer.
