    • Requires Manual Intervention with Windows 7
Style: PCI-X
I bought this card because my new (home-built) Windows 7 computer had no parallel port integrated into the motherboard, and I still wanted to use my perfectly serviceable HP Laserjet. I began by installing the card, but not attaching the printer. On my setup, Windows obviously detected the new card since it showed up in Device Manager, but Windows did not offer to install any drivers. In Device Manager, the card was shown with a yellow exclamation point, indicating that it wasn't working properly: Of course not, since the drivers had not yet been installed! At that point I installed the drivers manually from Device Manager, and that went quickly on my Win7 Professional 64-bit machine -- fortunately, 64-bit drivers are included on the CD that accompanied the card. On my computer, the card defaulted to LPT3 rather than LPT1. That caused a problem when I attempted to install my Laserjet 6p printer; Windows was unable to find any drivers for it. However, once I changed the card's port to LPT1 (again in Device Manager) and tried again, Win7 was able to locate the proper drivers and install them right away. It seems odd that Windows could recognize the attached printer when the port was set to LPT3, but couldn't find any drivers until the port was changed to LPT1. In any case, once that issue was sorted out, there was smooth sailing. (Possibly Windows would have installed the drivers automatically after the port setting was corrected; I didn't wait to find out the answer to that.) Before long, Windows Update offered to install newer drivers for this printer, but I'm resisting that offer since the original ones are working fine at this point. When it comes to drivers offered by Windows Update, I'm of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" school. In conclusion, the item under review isn't quite a "plug 'n' play" device, but if you're comfortable fiddling with the above-mentioned settings, it should do the job. ----------------------- UPDATE (3-20-2018): After 6.5 years, this card stopped working; it no longer appeared in Device Manager. I ordered another one, which was exactly the same model, but the drivers would not install. StarTech online chat support was helpful, but their suggestions did not work, so I returned the new card and stuck the old one back in my computer. To my surprise, the old card then showed up in Device Manager, but with a driver issue. I tried updating the driver, using the files that I had just downloaded from StarTech, and -- amazingly -- this procedure worked. I suppose that the old card needed nothing more than to be re-seated, which of course was accomplished by the card-swapping. I should have tried that before ordering the new card, which didn't work anyway. ... show more

    • Works fine, although set up can be tricky
Style: PCI-X
I installed this on a relatively new HP machine that had no parallel port. Becuase it had no parallel port, the computer was not set up to look for or acknolwedge one. After installing the new card(which was straightforward) and going through the frustration of having the printer not work, I went through two steps that made a difference. First, I found the Windows 7 64-bit drivers on the included CD and pointed to that during the set up process (instead of default drivers). Second, I discovered that the new card was assigned LPT3, whereas the set up was defaulting to LPT1, which is where the parallel port would normally be located. But since this computer never had a parallel port, it also had no LPT1. Figuring out the printer was named LPT3 required going into the device manager and finding the correct device reference for the card/printer. then, I assigned the correct LPT3 port to the printer during set up and its worked fine since. ... show more

    • OMG...This actually worked for my IOMega Zip 100
Style: ExpressCard
OMG...This actually worked. I had been trying to connect an old iomega 100 zip drive to my old xp machine which has an expresscard slot and this product worked for me. Previously the usb/parallel port adapter was not working with a storage device connection for me and I had doubts that this would really work. After many trials and errors what worked was to install only the startech expresscard in the slot and go to device manager and update/install the drivers from their disc for the entry PCI expresscard under Port(COM&LPT). I changed the port for the PCI device to LPT1 vs LPT3 and selected enable Legacy Plug and Play then I securely attached the PCI with it's connector to the IOMega zip drive and restarted my PC(as mentioned make sure all the connectors are pushed in properly). After the machine came back on I went to device manager and noted a VM0 device under Disk Drives and I selected the option to update/install using the windows recommended drivers. During the driver install I noted a message iomega legacy and afterward a new F: drive was present under windows explorer. I noted that if I unplugged the pci card and later on plug it back in the drive showed a red question mark under windows explorer and I had to restart my PC with the pci and iomega both attached and then the drive was once again present. ... show more

    • Works well, easy install
Style: PCI-X
I initially was going to purchase the "value" version of this card (same manufac, but a few bucks cheaper) but read on the Dell boards that the value card will not work with the Dell Vostro line. So, bought this version since I was using it with a Dell (right now an XPS, but will be moving the card in a few months to my Vostro 410). Very easy install -- just pop it into an open slot, power up, and the new hardward wizard came up. The CD has 2 drivers for XP -- not sure of the difference (if there is one). Windows pulled in the driver, although it did pop up a warning saying the driver was not verified with XP. No problems installing it, and it works perfectly. Using it with an old HP laserjet (a 4M) and a DOS application (yes, DOS. It's a legacy app that can't be ported to Windows). Wanted to get some use out of the old printer, plus DOS can't print to a USB port unless you go through all sorts of twists and turns. An old-fashioned LPT1, on the other hand, can be used with zero drama. Love it when plug and play actually means plug and play! ... show more

    • Working well in a Windows 7 64-bit system
Style: PCI
I put this card in a Dell desktop system running Windows 7 (64-bit). Our printer, an HP Laserjet 4050 (I know!) works with no problems. The card came with a CD-ROM but I did not bother to even look at it. Rather, I downloaded the driver from the StarTech site. Came with: * low-profile PCI Express x1 card * driver CD-ROM * high-profile bracket adapter * instruction booklet * Part # PEX1P The box says that the item has a "2 Year Warranty". Other than being slightly more expensive than I would have liked, it is perfect. ... show more
