Review from Matthew G. Sherwin for the Original HP 21/22 Ink Cartridges Combo-Pack in Retail Packaging
The Rating is:
These HP 21 black and 23 color inkjet cartridges are very light, easy to install and they allow the printer to print out good quality, durable black and all colors of ink on the page. They store for about a year after you buy them so if you want to stock up for your office or personal printing needs that’s great! (They even come with an expiration date!) HP also packs these well so that it is difficult for the cartridge to become damaged during transit. These ink cartridges are also compact so storing them is easy.
One thing that I don’t like is that the ink goes too quickly. If you print a lot, you might even need to replace this cartridge every ten days or so. My needs are about 15 pages per week and I have to change cartridges roughly every six weeks. That’s not good; although to be fair to these HP ink cartridges I am printing graphics.
Another caveat: in a store you’ll probably save some money buying this two inkjet cartridge pack. On some websites (ahem) the savings is lost as another reviewer correctly notes.
Overall, the quality of the ink is rather good despite my one complaint that the ink goes faster than I would like it to go. Nevertheless, the cartridges provide you with the ability to print a multitude of colors on your paper and replacement is easy.
Three stars for this product. These ink cartridges lose a point for not lasting longer; and this pack of two inkjet cartridges loses another star for being a little overpriced by some vendors.

Rather than buying this combo, just buy HP21 and HP22 separately and save more than $2. Besides, when sold separately, these are qualified for free shipping at Amazon.

Did you know ink has an expiration date? Amazon sells enough of these that the stock stays fresh. My cartridges had over a year’s shelf-life left on them when they arrived.

When it comes to getting ink cartridges, most of us only get one cartridge for their needs, rather than two. Nevertheless, most us need two kinds for our everyday printing needs. HP knows that with all their high-quality inkjet printers. But with so much more of us willing to print up photos, and make labels, many of us use more than we know. This pair of inkjet cartirdges, HP 21 & 22, is a combo pack that is used for not just your common everyday printing needs for documents like files and reports, but you can also use it to print ads from online articles from your favorite websites, as well as coupons and many other things. These mainly are used of HP Deskjet printers for the 3900 series. Although you may get these seperately at other prices, or wasting more money by buying refill kits, you’re better off getting this combo pack altogether. It really does a great job at printing, and I really recommend the brand and value that HP makes for all printing projects.

Review from JoAnna Garnham for the Original HP 21/22 Ink Cartridges Combo-Pack in Retail Packaging
The Rating is:
My ink cartridges got here pretty quick and packaging was great. My only other comment is, My HP Deskjet 3940 series printer, eat’s up ink to quick. The cartriges are very expensive. I order #’s 21(Black) & # 22 (Tri-color). I got a combo pack & price was only $1.00 less then cost at Walmart. I really would like the Kodack 3 in one printer but it cost’s to much money ( this product doesn’t eat up ink so fast and the ink cartridges range from $14.99 each to $23.00 each.
Review from SEB for the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable
The Rating is:
I used it to connect an old Canon BJ-200E printer to a new Dell desktop. Win XP did indeed recognize and install the printer as soon as I plugged it in – no additional drivers were necessary – but I still needed to run the “Add Printer” wizard to get it to appear on my printer list. Then I went into the printer properties and switched from the standard printer port to USB. That was it. **Note that the manufacturer specifies WIN 98SE/2000/XP and Mac OS v8.6-9.2.
From the manufacturer, here’s the list of printer models supported:
HP Deskjet: 420,500C,520C,670C,692C,695C,710C,750,850C,870C,890C,895,1100C,1120C

Review from Joseph Ekaitis for the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable

. . .even if the in-laws didn’t want it to happen.
When I bought a new iMac to replace an old Dell, I joined a growing family of computer owners. Our laser and inkjet printers are too young to toss out but our new computers don’t have a parallel port for a printer. Parallel and serial ports are disappearing, even on Intel/Windows machines.
The computer biz’s solution: Come on, buy a snazzy new USB printer for that snazzy new computer! Apple doesn’t even list my HP LaserJet 6L among compatible printers for the iMac. Could they be in cahoots? Hmmm . . .
The LaserJet still prints out a razor-sharp manuscript. With a little maintenance now and then, I can get more value out of it than I would for the price of a new printer. Off I went in search of a solution, but at all the usual brick-n-mortars, a simple USB-to-parallel cable was half a C-note!
Back here on Amazon.com, I found this Sabrent cable. Though most of the reviews extoll its virtues on Windows machines, I figured I could gamble the cost.
I hit the jackpot. With the price of shipping, the cable is less than half the lowest price I found. Even better, the iMac already had (or found on the Internet) a driver for the cable, and then hunted up a public domain driver for the LaserJet that works like a charm.
So, a 21st century computer has found the perfect mate in a printer from the late 1990s. And they lived happily ever after.
Review from E. Boylan for the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable
The Rating is:
I have an HP LaserJet 4L that still works just fine, but my laptop is too new and doesn’t have a parallel port. I wasn’t sure there would be any easy solution to this problem, so I did my homework before buying this cable and it was still wrong.
The product information’s claim that this cable will work with all parallel printers is simply wrong. Although I gather from the other reviews that there are 4Ls this cable does work with, it certainly doesn’t work with mine, whose plug is 25-pin– not exactly an uncommon configuration, since it worked fine on a laptop only slightly older than my current one.
Worse, although the product information doesn’t include pictures close enough to confirm that the female parallel end will work, Tiger Direct now won’t accept the cable back because it isn’t defective– just wrong, and useless.
It’s odd, too, that Tiger Direct would bother being so vague in the product information, because they do sell a cable that would be compatible with my [very common] printer, and to which they could presumably point customers with a similar setup without losing business. Now, though, I won’t be purchasing the correct cable from them.
Review from Gerard for the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable
The Rating is:
I recently upgraded to a motherboard that didn’t come with an on-board parallel port. That was a slight problem since I use an old Apple LaserWriter Select 360 as my printer and still wanted to use it with this new motherboard. I was looking for a parallel-to-usb cable and came across this one and decided to try it out. Installation was a breeze. I plugged it into one of my usb ports and Windows XP Pro SP2 immediately recognized and installed the drivers for me. I then had to change the printer preference so that it would use the “usb port” instead of the usual LPT1 port for parallel port. I am happy to say that I can still use my trusty Apple LaserWriter with my Windows PC.
Review from J. Wort for the Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable
The Rating is:
I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on this cable. I didn’t know the manufacturer, either. However, it functioned just as advertised, straight out of the box. I have an old printer (HP DeskJet 720c) that has a parallel connection on it, and I just bought a new laptop with no parallel ports. I didn’t want to bother with a docking station, so I bought this cable. I plugged it in, ran the add printer wizard that popped up in XP as soon as it detected my printer, and have had no problems since. I am thoroughly satisfied.
