Review: Recommend the cable - Recently updated Windows 7 Updated computer to Windows 10 computer works Great the printer is 12 feet away in in another room on the other side of a wall shared by 2 computers no or none of the automatic share USB switches barely work You end up having to use them as and a MB switch and manually switch the printer to where you want. But this is easier Don't have to push any buttons. Both computers are Windows 10 one computer is hooked up via USB the other computer is hooked up with this cable Parallel to USB and also using desertcart Basic e Extension cable listed below. The printer works great the printer is a Kyocera FS-820 has a USB connection and parallel connection using Both connections At the same time. Oh also it is best you plug the USB directly into the computer and Not and Through None power USB hub that is connected to the computer Because THE computer may Not recognize the printer that's through a non powered hub we haven't tried to that powered supplied hub plugged into the computer we only noticed it wouldn't work through a USB hub.. We use this extension cable it is below is a 3.0 It's backwards compatible to USB 2.0 the computer we have a connect to doesn't have any 3.0 USB ports and it still works great.... https://www.desertcart.com/desertcartBasics-Extension-Cable-Male-Female/dp/B00NH12O5I/ref=gp_aw_ybh_a_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MQDWPZZVMGKJ418C9YEX Thank you
Review: Nice 3ft cord - This cord worked good. It is too short for my purpose though oh, I thought it stated it was 4 feet long, it states that it is 3 ft 4 in Long but mine was only three feet exactly. I'm not sure if the lanes got switched from 4 feet or if I just miss read it. It is a nice item though if all you need is 3 ft of cord . it's a good price too. I would recommend it if your computer and printer are right next to each other.

### ⭐ Doesn't work.
*by M***T on February 24, 2020*

I had to use an adapter cable to get my Canon BJC 80 to work when I got my Windows 7 computer many years ago. It took 4 minutes to print, but at least it worked. Well, I was forced to upgrade to Windows 10 (like millions of others who were abandoned by Microsoft when it stopped supporting security updates for that OS), and I had the same issue when I "upgraded" last week. So I bought this cable in the hope that it would solve the time delay issue. It did not. In fact it did not work at all. So I am forced to go back to my old set up and put up with the delay, but at least it works. This product does not, I'm sorry to day. And I see no way to call their tech support.
