I bought this product to connect a Toshiba Satellite P200-1FX (Windows 8) to a Canon BJC-4550 printer I carefully preserved (despite its parallel port) because it prints photos and tables A3. The result: it does not work, or so entirely random. I specify that with the print server D-Link DPR-1061 it works perfectly (same PC, same driver BJC-4550). Perhaps USB 1.1 Type A is incompatible with Windows 8 or PC? Well, for the price I will not cry but I was forced to buy a second-hand DPR-1061 to 57.
