USB cable type is common printer connector
Usually a Centronics connector is used.
7-pin connector

If you mean a standard 10/100 type Network Interface Card (nic), then you connect it with a CAT5 or CAT6 cable, the connector on the end is known as an RJ45.

It's called "network printer". Such printers usually have either wireless or LAN 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.
That depends on the type of printer. Many modern printers have a built-in ethernet interface, and some of the newest offer WiFi or BlueTooth; you don't actually need to plug in in order to print. For more common home laser printers, you'll need to either get a print spooler (which is sometimes built into your network switch or your gateway router) or connect to a host PC and then share the printer.
The port used to connect a printer on a handheld data connector is typically the USB port, as it allows for direct communication and power transfer between the device and the printer. Some handheld devices may also support Bluetooth for wireless printing or a serial port for older printers. Always check the device specifications for compatibility with the printer type.
The serial port must be configured for speed, parity type, character frame and protocol.
you can use any printer having USB interface.. if you are talking of old laptop then you can also use the lpt printer.. its all about which ports (usb, lpt) is having your laptop.. now a days every laptop is having only usb port ..
