Nowadays on all computers you will see many USB ports but some of the HP printers still use the old parallel cable and this is not good. I don't like the HP printer cable because I think that it is too heavy and is hard to move around because it is so thick. But the good thing about the cable is that it lasts a very long time as mine has lasted ages and reliability is great. The price I think is too much for this wire and I am not happy why they have put the price too high because this wire is very old. I first started using this wire with my old HP printer which I purchased nearly six years ago. The wire lasted very long but I was disappointed with HP as over the years they had not made a single improvement to the wire. If you want to buy this wire for your old HP printer then go ahead and buy it, it will last a long time. If you use a new printer then use a USB wire rather than this big HP printer cable.
Overall, I would not buy this wire as it was released 10 years ago and HP have not made one improvement to the wire. Only buy this wire if you have to. If you have to make decision out of using a USB cable or a HP printer cable then please choose the USB as the HP printer cable is old, heavy and not very flexible. Also, remember that prices are a bit too much for this item as it is over 10+ years old.
