Works great with HP Deskjet 722C, except ....2007-05-09
I got this on clearance at Walmart for 16 bucks! Had just bought a spanking new computer system with Windows Vista. Couldn't decide on a printer. Found out by using a bidirectional USB to Parallel port cable I could possibly use my HP with my new system. Hooked everything up & the computer system installed the printer for me. Didn't have to do a thing. The only things I noticed is that there was only an option for installation for HP Deskjet 720C rather than 722C, which is what my printer is ... and I used to be able to do double-sided printing with my old Windows 98SE system .... with my new system (Windows Vista), I cannot. Still, it's enough to get me by until I can decide on a new all in one printer. If anyone is leary about using these cables, don't be. They work! Just allow your Windows Vista system to do the installation for you!
Makes paralletl printer plug and play with Windows 2000 or XP-has driver for 982007-02-25
I have Windows XP, a laptop with USB ports only (no parallel), and a Laserjet 6p. Plug the Cent36m end of cable into the printer's parallel port and turn the printer on. Insert the USB end into a port on the computer. Windows XP recognized it, and installed the printer. It's that simple.

A mini-CD in included and has the driver for Windows 98. The manual is also on that CD. Please note, that the CD works only with drives that have a center-piece that the CD snaps onto similar to the center piece in a jewel case. APC does have a web site if you have any questions or need more information.

This product is ideal for using a parallel printer with a laptop which only has USB ports. This is a lot less expensive alternative than buying a new printer! However, the information that comes with the product says using this cable is faster than a parallel to parallel connection too. :-).

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer.
