To interface a parallel printer to a USB port, you need a USB Parallel Printer Adapter, Belkin makes a reliable one that I have used for years.

How do you connect printer to the computer?
using a usb cable which is a connection between the computer and the printer only or wirelessly which means everyone on the network can use the printer but only if computer and printer is wireless
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.
Do scanners only connect to newer computers?
Scanners will connect to most any computer that has a USB connection, these days. Older scanners may only connect to computers with a parallel port, however.
How do you connect to printer on the galaxy s3?
plug an USB OTG cable adapter and connect directly to your printer, sadly it said that work only with a Samsung printer.
How can you prove a printer problem is not with the printer itself but lies with the network computer OS or application?
It depends on printer. For laser printers it's very easy to do, just print out test page using controls located on the printer itself. With other printer is harder because of absence of testing interface. The only choice you have is to connect the printer to computer try to get it printing. If does on one computer and does not do it somewhere else you point is proved.

Can a computer have more than one printer installed in it and explain?
Yes because it is upgradable. yOU NEED TO SHARE THE PRINTER. Most computers today have several Universal Serial Bus inputs, and each one is capable of supporting a different printer. However, the printer drivers must be installed on the computer, so that the computer can communicate with the printer. These drivers are contained in the installation disc which comes with the printer, or can be downloaded from the manufacturers website. Older computers had a parallel port to drive printers, and could only operate one printer. A 'shared' printer is one which is accessible from the local are network, which allows a user on a computer which is not directly connected to the printer to use that printer.
Can a parallel to usb adapter be used with a usb hub to create usb ports?
The only parallel to USB adapter I've seen is one which allows you to hook up a parallel printer to a USB port on the computer. You could not use that manner to create USB ports.
How can you connect a Laserjet printer with printer cables with a computer that only has USB cables and no printer cables?
The HP LaserJet was first sold in 1984. Since then they have sold millions of LaserJets in constantly evolving styles. All modern printers use USB connections. USB connections were designed to remove such wiring inconsistencies. From the limited information available perhaps a Parallel to USB adapter (See links below) will solve the connection problem.
What printer works with a Gateway I only have a HP deskjet 930c printer?
That really depends on your operating system. What type of Windows do you run? Most of the time you can go to the manufactures web sight (in this case HP) and download the latest drivers for your computer. If you have a old printer, and the cable will not fit on the new computer, then you need a converter cable (USB to Parallel). Check out the local computer store and ask for one.
Is it possible to connect to a network printer when you are not part of the network?
No it is not possible. When not part of a network you do not have the sufficient privileges to access the printer. If the network was setup as a VPN you would be able to connect it from an offsite location.
