works in 32bit vista

"I just installed it on 32-bit Vista using an HP 4L printer. Vista has built-in drivers for both the printer and this adapter. The only con is it's USB 1.1 and not high speed. But it's not like this old printer could run any faster. Windows reports it uses 0.1 amps from the USB bus. That's not much. It's also a great value with gold plated centronics and usb connectors. It is actually 6'5" from tip to tip...." Read Full Review »

Doesn't work for me

"I spent about three hours trying everything possible to make this work between my old HP Deskjet 970 Cse and my new Toshiba Satellite with Vista.
