1) You hook the printer up to a computer and make it shareable on the local network. You can then go to other computers on the network and add a a new printer connected to a local LAN

2) Purchase a mini-print server device, such as this one: http://shop2.outpost.com/product/3853577 and hook it up directly to the printer. The print server then connects to the local network through a standard Ethernet cable.

How can you connect a parallel printer to a parallel computer and a usb computer?

Through a hub or router- Connect the printer to the parallel port then make sure you have network communication between the two machines and install the printer on the USB machine as a network printer. To put it a little more clearly. 1. Network the two computers which can be done quite cheaply using a 4 port USB network hub. 2. Attached the printer to either computer - all PC's have a parallel port. 3. Share the printer from the PC is it attached to. Hope this helps!
