Review: Works fine with LINUXCNC 2.9.8. - Plugged right in. I am running a Linux variant for controlling a CNC mill and it must have a Centronics parallel port interface. USB to parallel will not work. Other than having to change the hardware address in LinuxCNC, it was painless.
Review: Legacy Port That Works Well, Great Option For Old-School Parallel Port Devices - I got this for a client who has a receipt printer with a parallel port interface and they were upgrading their really old PC to a new one without a parallel port. The physical install was simple and easy. I downloaded the latest drivers and they installed with not problems either. Easy peasy. In operation this worked perfectly with the receipt printer it was bought for. I’m very pleased with the result for an economical option. I’ve used other Startech products with good luck so the brand played a role in my choice too. It did not disappoint. That’s why I’m giving this expansion card 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product! Works with PlasmaCam Hardware!
*by E***. on December 22, 2021*

I installed this adapter in a new Dell machine. I swapped the full profile bracket with the low profile bracket (both brackets come with the product). Installation took about 5-10 minutes. Driver installation was extremely straightforward for my Windows 10 x64 machine. The drivers can easily be found on StarTech's website. This is a great product, and it works on my PlasmaCam machine, I saved a lot of money going with StarTech over Axxon
