the picture does not look like it has a pci plug how do you use it if your computer doesn't have a printer port?

The gold contacts on the bottom of the card is the PCI plug and most motherboards have at least one available PCI port, if not two.

Dear Nereida if you look well the picture the device has a pci plug, I use it and work very well.

N Morales is correct. There are 2 connections on this device; a usb connection for power and an old fashioned parallel port for the diagnostic. There is NO PCI connection on the board pictured with this ad.BUT if you look at the "Frequently bought with this item" section at the bottom of the ad, you'll see a tiny but COMPLETELY different picture that DOES have a PCI connector on it. My guess is the seller posted the wrong picture.

if I understand correctly, this unit connects to the computer via a USB cable. But I am seeing different pictures. One picture uses a USB port, but the other has a PCI edge connector. Regardless, I have tried these cards. I have been working on computers for over 20 years and I do not understand the messages they generate. I tried mine for a day or so and sent it back. Find a computer professional to trouble shoot your computer. These cards cause more confusion than they are worth.

Ask the seller a question and make sure he/she understands that you want a PCIE one. It was my first time diagnosing my computer, and it was fairly simple.

Just plug it into the PCI express slot. Being fanless, it will receive enough power from the motherboard and not require direct connection to the power supply.

Windows 7 is not an application. It is an operating system. Hardware such as this is not dependent upon the operating system. You just need to ensure your printer has a parallel connector which will work with this cable, and that your pc/laptop has a USB connector.

Hello there, the end connector for the printer is USB. You need what is called a USB Male A-B printer cable. One end is the traditional rectangular USB male shape you are familiar with that plugs into your PC and other end is sort of a square male connector that connects to the printer itself. You can also use a Cat5 Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a router. You can use one or other. Mine is connected using the Ethernet connector, my computers share the printer on a home network. A-B Printer cables come in sizes 6 feet to 10 feet traditionally. I believe you can go as high as 25 feet before the USB cable has communication problems. I hope this helps.

It is a female connector that is connected to my PC by usb. My printer has the male connection and couldn't be used in conjunction with the new PC (only usb ports).

It's just a cable, no drivers needed. If you need a driver, your computer should be able to find them

My gut feeling is that it has to connect to a powered USB port, not just a USB connection. If your motherboard doesn't work, try a PCI adapter card.

I really do not know what it comes with, but usually I take out the memory chip & load it into the computer by SD card port, From the computer, most printer applications should work fine. If it comes with a micro SD, then you may want an SD adapter that usually comes with the Micro SD,, because most computers may still have a port for the regular SD.

Hello! Sorry I can't help for sure, but I do not own that printer! Not sure why Amazon thinks I do. However, the cable does look to be a standard USB printer cable. The flat connector goes into the PC and the "covered bridge" connector goes into the printer, I would think.

Without seeing the connection on the printer itself, I really can't say one way or the other. Take a look at the connection on the printer that connects to the power supply, as long as the connection is the same and if the rating for the power supply is what is suggested then you should be fine.

It's a molex to PCI power adapter. The card needs its own power hookup. (2 x 4-pin to PCI) And its included with the card.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.

The USB printer needs to connect to the Square Stand itself. You would need an ethernet connection to connect it to a router.

Use an usb adapter and connect it to the usb port. You will see it as a unit on your pc.

There is a connection port provided with the square stand that you plug the printer in to. You also plug your cash drawer into that port as well

I am going to say yes a centronics cable right? this will connect the usb port to the cable you may need the printer driver but windows should handle that
