Does the parallel port is a socket used to connect a device such as a printer or a scanner?
An IBM PC parallel port used to be a standard socket on many computers used to connect to printers, scanners, and other such devices equipped with a Centronics port socket.
However this kind of interface is now generally considered to be obsolete and almost no computer or device uses it anymore. USB has replaced it on most computers and devices and most modern printers, scanners, and other such devices are now network compatible (e.g. EtherNet, WiFi) and can transfer data much faster than the old parallel port was capable of.
