Parallel port devices are those devices which are connected to the computer via parallel ports. An example is Printer which is connected to the parallel port LPTx (Line Printer Terminal) eg: LPT1, LPT2, LPT3. Parallel ports were originally developed by IBM as a way to connect a printer to your PC. When a PC sends data to a printer or other device using a parallel port, it sends 8 bits of data (1 byte) at a time. These 8 bits are transmitted parallel to each other, as opposed to the same eight bits being transmitted serially (all in a single row) through a serial port. The standard parallel port is capable of sending 50 to 100 kilobytes of data per second.
Answer-- A parallel port is a type of interface found on computers (personal and otherwise) for connecting various peripherals. It is also known as a printer port or Centronics port. The IEEE 1284 standard defines the bi-directional version of the port.
Devices which are connected through serial ports are called serial port devices. Examples : mouse, keyboard.
As technology has moved on from parallel ports to Firewire or USB then being able to find any device that still uses parallel communication ports will be increasingly difficult
A Printer, Usally a Older style Most new Printers connect via USB, and network printers are RJ45(Ethernet)
No. VGA port is not either serial or parallel port. It is a different interface. If you need a serial output, you need a VGA to serial converter.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface devices to a host computer.

how does computer send data through serial port?
In the past external modems connected to the COM (or serial) port. However, most modern external hardware is USB these days, modems are no exception.
no
serial port to communicate between CPU with other devices such as printer
usb port driver, serial adapter,
COM
USB port (Unassigned Serial Port)
The serial port is mostly used to connect Modems. However, there are many devices that can connect to the serial port. Some of these are, mouses, trackballs, scanners, Ham radio equipment, cash registers and many many more.
A serial port can be connected to numerous devices; pretty much any device that has another serial port. Examples include: Modems, serial mice, serial printers, bar code readers, digital scales, data acquisition equipment, pumps, flow monitors, radios, etc. I have a ham radio receiver that is controlled completely through a serial port and custom software; and I am writing a custom piece of software right now that connects through the serial port to a digital scale for process automation.
To send and receive data between computers or other electronic devices.
To provide the exchange of data, and also to power or charge the devices connected. It is an acronym for universal serial bus port.
In the past, both the serial and parallel port were the most common means of data transfer and communication used by PCs. Serial ports were used for devices such as modems, mice, and serial port printers. However, in newer PCs, both the serial and parallel ports have been replaced by the use of USB ports. You should only disable serial port(s) if you are absolutely certain that auxiliary devices such as modems; printers; mice; etc.. are USB based and that your PC has enough USB ports to accommodate all of your auxiliary devices. Note: If at some point in the immediate future, you plan to sell your PC, it might be wise to leave the serial port as is.
A device which gets its electrical power from the Universal Serial Bus. A USB port should be capable of powering small devices.
No. VGA port is not either serial or parallel port. It is a different interface. If you need a serial output, you need a VGA to serial converter.
