    Does the Newlink parallel-USB adaptor work under Vista 32-bit?

    Does the Newlink parallel-USB adaptor that SCAN offers work under Vista 32-bit?

    I ask because there is no mention of Vista in the specs on SCAN's page nor on Newlink's.

    TIA

    Just my thoughts, but I would say that if it is driverless under XP, it will be handled under Vista as well. If it needed manufacturer drivers, then that would be different. But it's obvously using the generic MS drivers for that, just the same a probably dozens of other devices.

    Bob Crabtree,

    Would find it difficult to guarantee this as the manufacturer do not state compatibility. If however, the item wasn't suitable you'd be welcome to return it for a refund.

    VERY late update.

    These (I ordered two!) didn't work - tried them on multiple PCs in the end - but I never managed to find time to get them RMA'd.

    did you use vista 32 or any other OS as well?
    I had one of those for my old OKI but never got around to testing it out!
