Plug the USB end in the pc, and connect the 25-pin connector to the printer cable. Just make sure your older printer is supported with updated drivers to allow it run on newer pc's with newer operating systems and do not have 25-pin parallel ports. Assuming you have updated drivers for the printer, this hardware should work fine as a bridge between a newer pc and an older printer.

As a techie with 34 years of Windows software & PC building experience, sorry to report that Windows 10 with updates as of December 2019, will not allow the use of a generic floppy drive with this adapter. Tried/tested with 3 different desktop and laptop PCs. Closest I came to getting any PC to recognize the floppy drive through this adapter was the ability to hear the motor humming inside the drive. Tried several software drivers that google found but to no avail.

Allowed me to use a HP5 laser printer with a computer with USB only for printer running W10. Had to go to MS website and use a printer wizard as no drivers native to W10 on computer. Also worked without any effort on computer with 25 pin native connector running XP pro when connected to USB port to try.

Works in Linux and OpenBSD. dmesg from OpenBSD: ulpt0 at uhub3 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "QinHeng Electronics USB2.0-Print" rev 1.10/2.54 addr 5 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode You cat write directly to /dev/ulpt0 on OpenBSD or /dev/usb/lpt0 on Linux. To get CUPS to work, I had to edit the config to use /dev/usb/lpt0 as the devices as it only gave the option of /dev/lpt0 or serial, network, or other things, not /dev/usb/lpt0.
