I use this usb to parallel cable on Linux (only paid $7 in 2009 from
a different seller maybe) with my old printer and it all works. No
software needed.
It puts my printer on /dev/usb/lp0 automatically. The automated
printing software included with Linux (Cups/Kde), sees the printer and
knows what it is.

I have read a little, about possible issues with two way
communication? I decided to just try it, and in my case, for a
printer, works great.
