Tested under Windows XP with an HP LaserJet 6L (1998 and that still works after almost 15 years of regular use !!) works perfectly, no need for additional drivers other than printer drivers already present in Windows XP.
In summary: EXCELLENT value for money, fast shipment, THANK YOU !!
Update (January 2014): the cable still works as well, and for almost a year now I switched to Windows 7 and I use that cable to connect my printer directly on my server housing the USB port of Freebox v6 Revolution allowing me therefore to share the printer on the local network and access to Wi-Fi ... It works fine on Windows (tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8), it is a bit more complicated Mac OS X but I'm still happened.
