Serial printers are connected via the serial (COM) port of the computer. "Non-serial" printers are connected through another interface, such as the parallel port, USB, ADB. FireWire, etc...
Parallel sockets are wide, with two rows of pins that total 25 in all. Printers and some other devices use 36 pins, but they look the same. There is a screw hole at either end to allow the connector to be fastened securely.
Printers are commonly connected by one of three waysOlder printers (and some new ones) are connected by a special cable that runs from the "Parallel Printer Port" on the computer to the printer.Most newer printers can be connected by a special USB cable.Some new printers can also be connected by wireless either directly or via a router. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
A wireless print server is a device which will enable you to share your USB or Parallel port printer on a wireless or wired network.The print server can be configured to connect to an existing wireless network and can then be connected to the printer via the USB or Parallel port, once this has been done the printer should be available for use on any computer on the network.
Many devices have traditionally been connected to a parallel port. The most common usage was for printers. Image scanners, external hard drives, and Ethernet adapters have also been created for the 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.
LPT1 (parallel port -aka; printer port). Parallel ports are often called LPT (Line Printer) ports since they are most often used for printers. Parallel ports on the system side are always 25pin female.
