What is the difference between usb port printer interface and parallel port Interface?

The primary difference is that a USB interface type printer requires the computer to have a USB port (as all modern computers do) whereas a parallel interface type printer requires the computer to have a parallel (LPT) port (which many modern computers do not have.) There are USB-to-parallel converters however which plug into USB and allow the use of parallel printers. Additionally, many legacy applications only have support for parallel printers, in these cases, in order to use a USB printer it may be necessary to create a virtual parallel port and map the USB printer to it.
