I had trouble finding the item I was looking for on other sites. LDLC had it in stock. It was perfect!
Works between my Linux Ubuntu (20.04) and a very old printer with only a parallel port (long gone from motherboards).
It will cost me less than a laser and toners or cleaning the nozzle of an inkjet given the few prints I make per month. I have only checked the sending to the printer, it doesn't report anything in the other direction (it's matrix, there is no lack of ink to be brought up)
Small concern when I first tried it on Ubuntu 16.04, the page was sent, but the printer, an HP 710 C, did not wake up.
An idea: define a new printer.
The HP was immediately recognized as a USB printer, the drivers were installed and I found the solution to continue to use my printer ;)
The Ethernet port on my good old HP Laserjet 4050 had failed, as it has no USB port, I bought this cable.
