Question: USB to Parallel Converter Cable

Hi,

I'm technologically disadvantaged. {#emotions_dlg.blushing} I inherited an older model Epson b/w printer and need a converter cable that looks like this:

Sabrent SBT-UPPC USB to Parallel 6-Foot Printer Cable

Best Buy has it for $30 which I thought was a bit much, but searching on-line I see they are on Amazon for $8-$12.

Here are my questions:

1) Is it okay to buy this on-line?

2) Does the "brand" matter?

3) Doesn't it have to be compatible with Windows 7? How do I know if it is?

TIA!
