Rating:  - Works well
Works perfectly... that's all I care about! My son installed it in a snap. Good price at Amazon!!

Rating: - Excellent. A little pricier but well designed and with digitally signed XP drivers
After trying several cheap parallel port adapters that didn't work either with my Compaq computer or with my printer (Xerox Docuprint P8), and that didn't have digitally signed drivers, this adapter finally worked.
Pros:
- Performance
- Ease of installation
- Digitally Signed XP drivers
- Warranty
Cons:
- Price
