Sabrent 30228 USB to Parallel Printer Cable

This ten-foot cable connects a USB host to a Centronics 36-pin parallel printer port. It lets users keep legacy dot-matrix or laser printers working on modern computers that lack a built-in parallel interface.

Plug-and-play installation on Windows Mac and Linux

The adapter requires no driver installation and draws power from the USB port. A loose CN36 latch or a bent pin on the printer side are the most common reasons a connection fails.

IEEE 1284 parallel interface limited to 12 Mbps

The cable supports the standard 1284 transmission rate but cannot exceed it. Very long print jobs or high-resolution graphics may print more slowly than on a native parallel port. Buyers who need faster throughput or network sharing should consider a dedicated print server.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Sabrent 30228 cable is working after I plug it in?

The cable uses plug-and-play operation with no driver installation needed. When connected, your Windows, Mac or Linux system should recognise the printer immediately and allow a test page to print at up to 12 Mbps transmission speed.

What comes in the box with the Sabrent 30228 and what must I source separately?

The box contains the 10 ft USB-to-parallel cable with a CN36 Centronics connector built to the IEEE 1284 standard. You will need to provide the USB host port on your computer and the parallel printer you intend to connect.

Which version of the Sabrent 30228 should I choose for my legacy printer?

Only one version is offered: model 30228, a 10 ft cable with copper conductors and male-to-female gender. Select this single SKU if the length and CN36 interface match your printer’s port.
