You can connect a printer using Ethernet if the printer has an ethernet jack. If not you can purchase a used HP Jet Direct box on E-Bay for $10, which has a parallel connector that works for older printers. The printer connects to the jet direct via parallel cable, then a CAT 5 (Ethernet) cable to a hub, switch or router.

If you are using Windows choose Add Printer , Local Printer attached to this computer, create new port, arrow down to TCP/IP port and type in the address from your router (192.168.1.X).
