PL2305 USB to Printer Bridge Controller driver or PL2305 USB-C to Parallel Printer driver has been added below which will take you to the download page as this chipset is from Prolific. This chipset you will find in the USB-C to Parallel Printer Cable adapters. This cable is a bi-directional bridge between the Universal Serial Bus (USB) system and IEEE-1284 parallel port printers.
PL2305 USB-C to Parallel Printer Driver
The drivers for this should be in your Windows driver files and is a standard driver in Windows. You can also find the drivers for the StarTech 2 Port USB to RS232 Serial DB9 Adapter as well as the Cisco USB Console Cable – USB to RJ45. This cable allows you to USB to save the expense of replacing your serial printer as the DB25 adapter saves you the cost of replacing a parallel printer for a USB compatibility printer. Note that they all use the Prolific USB to serial driver.
The Prolific PL2305 chipset is used with this adapter. This comes with a parallel printer cable. The maximum data transfer data rate is 1.5Mbps and comes a a USB-C port as you can see from the pictures above. The power source is the USB port and done not need an adapter. The other connections are also the DB-25 adapter female connection type. See for driver file below for the chipset. See also the uc232a driver download as well as the HP Laserjet 3380 printer.
PL2305 USB-C to Parallel Features
Meet the PL-2305, a tech wonder made by Prolific. It’s like a magic translator between USB and printers with an old-school parallel port (think of it as a language that some printers speak). Likewise see also the HP laserjet p1100 driver as well as the Samsung Universal Print Driver. Here’s the lowdown:
What Makes PL-2305 Cool:
- Bi-Directional Magic: It’s like a bridge that lets USB and parallel port printers talk to each other in both directions.
- Tech Chameleon: Designed to be a flexible, high-performance solution for making USB cables and peripherals play nicely.
USB-C to Parallel Connection – What’s That?:
- Imagine a cable that has a USB-C connector on one end and a parallel port on the other. It’s like a translator that helps devices with parallel ports (like printers) speak with computers that only understand USB-C.
- PL-2305 could be the secret ingredient in such a cable, making the USB to Parallel conversion happen.
Real-World Example – USB-C to Parallel Printer Cable:
- This cable is like a superhero tool. It connects your USB-C laptop or desktop to an old-school DB25 printer.
- It magically turns your USB-C port into a parallel port, making it seem like your computer had a parallel port built-in.
- No hassle with installation – just plug it in, and you’re good to go.
Important Note:
- The PL-2305 took a bow in 2020 (End of Life), so it won’t be getting any more updates or new features.
In a Nutshell:
- The PL-2305 is like a tech middleman, making sure your modern USB devices can still chat with printers that speak the old parallel language.
