I want to use this to connect my old HP 5mp laser jet (25 pin male) to a Dell Inspiron Win 7 usb 2 or 3 - will it work?

I hooked an HP LaserJet 1100A to a Dell Inspiron Windows 7 and the printer worked just fine. When you plug the USB to your computer, make sure the printer is on and your computer will download the drivers needed to run your computer. I recommend to always us the same USB port when you plug your printer back into your computer.

It should. I am using it to connect an old HP 1100 laser jet with a 25 pin male connector to a Windows 7 pc with usb 2.

it is for 25 pin DB connector not for 16 pins, and for some different brand pc you need to load the driver for it, I don't know Syba sell it with driver or not. I used it on Windows 7 with HP laser printer, it works but I am not sure will it work on Windows8 and Samsung printer.

I would doubt what you have stated. This should work on any laptop/PC with a USB2.0 slot. It doesnt matter if it is HP or any other brand as long as USB2.0 option is provided ( I did try on a old HP Desktop and it worked fine). It might struggle if it is connected via a USB hub. So direct connectivity is recommended. Even if there is a power source issue with certain computers, then you can go for a twin-head USB cable (sold separately) for drawing power from two USB slots in the computer. Hope this helps.

Sheri, i am not 100% sure as i used it for a HP Laserjet 1100. For the price of the cable i would give it a try. It's a lot less than buying a newer printer if you laserjet 5 is working fine. I was told by our IT guy here it would not work for my Laserjet 1100 as i was going from a PC with Windows XP to one with Windows 7 which only has USB ports. I purchased the cable and found i needed a mini parallel connector so had to buy a large parrallel to mini parallel adapter which was not expensive. Then had to go to HP to get driver to load to use my Laserjet 1100 with windows 7. If you have changed operating systems too then you might need to download a driver for it. All in all not difficult for some like me with moderate computer skills. Good Luck :)

It should, provided your system has USB in somewhere on it, and most every system post-2002 will. Just be sure to install the correct drivers from the manufacturers site. While not that model, I bought this to replace the one on my wife's HP Deskjet.

??? It should works well with my laptop Which has Windows 7, however you need two USB ports for power.

Yes this will work. I had my HP LaserJet 4000 plugged into this before I ended up buying an internal JetDirect. Because of distance, I had this USB going through a USB hub and had intermittent issues with all USB devices running that length. However, if you are plugging this directly from LaserJet into the PC, this will work fine.

You best bet is to call the distributor to confirm. I just did this for an hp laptop that I had.

If the printer has the old style parallel port, this cable will connect the parallel port to a usb port. I am using it to connect a very old laserjet 6mp to a windows 8 desktop.

Sorry I can't be specific to your printer. I was getting an old HP 720C to work with Windows 7 and it did fill that bill

If I am correct, this particular cable will only work on some HP printers such as HP Color Laser Jet CM2320mf MFP. Some places state that they work on all HP printers, which is actually misleading. I recommend that you do a little more research, like typing "which USB cable for HP officepro jet 8600" and see what comes up.

more than likely, NO... it was purchased specifically for an old dell desktop... it is NOT a usb connection for one thing.. most new pc's only have usb connections... this is a parallel port connection. But, for my purposes which was to replace a monitor that had crapped out... it worked great!

I am using this on a Dell BW laser which has no internet connection, This device enabled me to connect wirelessly to my processor. This should work for you as it is a wireless adapter. You may have to try a couple of times as I did but it works fine now. I recommend reading instructions before putting installation disc in. Good luck.

My computer has windows 7 and I have a laser printer and a color HP printer both going. This USB port is on my laser printer. It works for mine. Hope this helped.

You can connect to any printer with USB port. I have one very old HP Office Jet and is working.

I am running a HP LaserJet 4 with a Dell running Windows 7 Pro. It works very well for me.
