Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Not Really Bi-Directional.......2007-05-15

A little bit of information that is not in the product review but is disclosed in the Start-up guide. QUOTE "This product supports printing from your computer to the printer, but does not support any additional features (of the printer) that require your computer. This is most noticeable with Multi-Function Printers (MFPs), but not limited to them. This may include (but is not limited to) faxing, scanning and checking ink levels."
So this cable is promoted as Bi-directional but Iogear knows it can only send information to the printer! It did not work with a receipt printer I was adding to my computer, I hope it will work with my old HP printer.

5 out of 5 stars Nice to have........2005-11-19

I bought this USB printer cable in order get rid of my parallel cable of my old printer. This USB cable works perfectly when I connect it to the printer and then to the computer. But when I tried to put it on the network (using my DI-704UP), the built-in print server in the router detects the printer but never prints. I have tried to resolve that but until now I have not been successful. I don't think the problem is with the cable. Overall I recommend this product.
