Most old printers use a parallel (LPT) interface. Many new computers are not equipped with parallel ports, as it is seen by many as an obsolete interface.
However, it is possible to hook a parallel printer up via USB by using a USB to parallel cable. These range in price from $10 to $30 and can be found at most electronic stores. I will include a few links below where you can buy them online.

How network printers works?
Network printing works like normal printing as far as your document is concerned, but the computer does a little more work.

The computer printing would send the data over the network to the computer hosting the printer as if the printer were plugged in to the local machine.
