This cable adapts from a standard USB port to a Parallel (or LPT) port. This is a great way to enable connectivity with older peripherals, especially printers, and works across a wide range of operating systems and devices. The cable itself is roughly 10 feet long.
Model: StarTech ICUSB128410
The ICUSB128410 10 ft USB to Parallel Printer Adapter - M/M allows USB capable PCs to print to any standard parallel printer, converting a USB port into a Centronics (male) connector for direct connection to a parallel printer.
The USB interface provides a much faster data transfer rate than standard parallel ports, thereby reducing the time spent waiting for a print job or data transfer to be sent.
A portable, space-saving solution, the USB to Parallel Printer Adapter is self-powered and provides Plug and Play installation on Windows based, USB-compliant computers.
