There are multiple interfaces / cables that have been used to connect printers to a computer, each with a different number of wires. USB, for instance, has only 4 wires, while IEEE 1284 (parallel / Centronics) has 25 pins, although not all of them are always used for all printers. IEEE 1394 (FireWire) has either a four or six-wire cable, while the ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) port used 4 wires.
