About USB Plugs:
- Standard USB Plugs and Receptacles: The plugs and receptacles have 4-contacts and are rectangular in shape with the contact opening of a Type A plug or receptacle measuring approximately 13.1(W) x 5.5(H) mm. The contact opening on standard Type B USB plugs and receptacles measures approximately 5.6(W) x 3.2(H)mm.
- Mini-USB Plugs and Receptacles: Mini-USB plugs, receptacles and cables were primarily introduced for USB OTG (Universal Serial Bus On The Go) devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, digital cameras etc. The USB OTG specification allows a single port to act as either a host or a device - chosen by which end of the cable plugs into the socket on the unit. After the cable is connected and the units are synchronised, the units may even swap ends under program control. This ability targets units such as PDAs where the USB link might connect to a PC's host port with the PDA as a device or alternatively connect the PDA as a host to a keyboard.
- Two small form factor plugs have been defined (Mini-A and Mini-B) along with a universal receptacle (Mini-AB) that accepts either a Mini-A plug or a Mini-B plug. . Mini-A, Mini-B, and Mini-AB connectors are identified easily by color. The specification nominates that the insulator plastic inside Mini-A plugs and receptacles is always white. In Mini-B connectors it's always black, and in Mini-AB receptacles it's always coloured grey. The plugs and receptacles have 5 contacts with contacts 4 & 5 joined together inside the Mini-A plug. Mini-USB plugs and receptacles are rectangular in shape, with the contact opening measuring approximately 6.8(W) x 3.1(H) mm

01-24-2012- Pros: I have an old but in excellent condition Epson A3 printer Photo EX that I was going to throw away because it is Parallel port orientated but when I saw this product and for the incredibly low price I thought I may as well try it. To my amaizement my beautiful old printer sprang in to life again and I love it better than my new one. I can honestly recomend this converter to anyone and have to some of my good friends.
- Cons: There are no cons to this product it is excellent.
- Other Thoughts: I am a professional Photographer and used to use this for printing window posters for real estate. I now use it just for portraiture prints of A3 as real estate is either on the internet or using digital frames with slide shows in the windows.

10-16-2011- Other Thoughts: I just took a shot at a possibility that this merchandise existed, but to my surprise the converter adapter had exactly what I was looking for. Received merchandise on the promised day after placing the order. Great service. I just ordered something else from the company.

10-13-2011- Other Thoughts: Excellent buying experience. They had one of the best prices posted on the net for the USB 2.0 to parallel printer converter adapter. When placing the order online it informed me that it would be back ordered, so I called them to get the possible shipping date. The agent was excellent, I called him often, the first time I got his voice mail which informed me of his days and hours, however he returned my call promptly and he always answered when he was working. The USB adapter arrived in perfect condition. They need to expand into a less specialized field; we need more internet stores like this.

10-03-2011- Other Thoughts: Prices were great, as was the service and ease of purchase. I made a mistake on my order so I am in the process of returning it for exchange, upgrade, or credit. I purchased from this merchant about 4 or 5 mouths ago and was as pleased then.

10-01-2011- Other Thoughts: USB to Parallel Printer Adapter Cable PCI received the cable earlier than expected and in good condition in spite of the fact that it was shipped in an unpadded bag. I had to purchase an extension cable later.
