## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is it?**
A: It's a 1-Ft cable in a 6-Ft box!

**Q: Just got the cable in the mail and hooked up my printer and Windows 8 PC but the printer was not recognized. What should i do?**
A: I had the same problem using Win 8.1. Here's what I did to resolve it: 1) Go to Control Panel. Click on Devices and Printers. 2) In the upper left corner click, on "Add Printer". A new window will appear and search for available printers on your system. If your printer is displayed, select it and follow instructions. 3). If not, at the bottom of the "add printer" window click on the arrow indicating that your printer was not displayed. A new window will pop up with a number of options. Select "Add a local printer...." and click Next. A list of printer manufacturers will appear on the left. Find your printer's manufacturer and select. A list of its printers will be displayed on the right. Select your printer and follow instructions. Note: I have an HP-2100 Laser Jet printer. In the list of manufacturers, HP is also listed as Hewlett Packard. You may have to look under both listings to find your printer. 4) Check back in "Devices and Printers" to make sure your printer shows up and is the default printer. Hope this helps.

**Q: Will this cable connect an hp officejet t45 printer to an hp computer running windows 10?**
A: No mine did not work, ended up in the trash

**Q: What's the difference between DB25 and DB25F ?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ カッティングプロッター
*by A***ー on August 23, 2023*

他の方のレビューなどを参考に、私もローランドのSTX-8をwin10で動かすために購入しました。使用してから2か月ぐらい経ちましたが問題なく使えてます。

### ⭐⭐ 使い物になりませんでした。
*by 佐***. on January 18, 2022*

色々と試してみましたが、結局接続出来ませんでした。諦めまして、今ではXP機からDsub接続で出力して居ります。国産品は無いので色々と調べてみましたら、以前は国産品も有ったらしいのですがトラブルが多発したので今では国内のすべてのメーカーはこの分野から撤収したとの事でした。安かったので商品は其の侭で保管して居ります。

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 早い配送で良い。
*by A***ー on September 22, 2023*

素早い配送でびっくり。goodです。
