“Can this product be used the other way around? I have a parallel port on my PC and a USB only port on my printer. Will this adapter also work by plugging the parallel side into my PC and using the USB side for my printer, or are there "male" / "female" issues?”

• No, The PC side of a parallel cable is different than the Printer Side of the cable. This is a USB to Parallel adaptor. Meaning it is USB on the PC side and Parallel on the printer side.
