How many parallel ports on PC?
Most standard PCs typically have one parallel port, which is often used for connecting printers and some other devices. However, some older models or specialized systems may have two or more parallel ports. With the shift to USB and other modern interfaces, parallel ports have become less common in contemporary PCs.
Which device connects to a parallel port?
A parallel port can be used to connect a large number of devices. The most common usage was for printers, although scanners, external disk drives, and network adapters also used this port. With a special cable, two computers could also be connected directly for sharing files.
What is the standard parallel cable used with most ink-jet printers?
