On recent computers the 25 pin D-sub is for the parallel port that is used to connect a printer to. On older (back in the mid to early 90s) there was also a 25 pin D-sub that was used as a COM (communication) port. The difference between the two is the printer port is a female port and the COM port is a male port.
A printer cable can connect to a serial printer using a 25-pin "RS-232", DB-25 connector, among other things. In many cases, only a few pins of the defined 25 pins are used (e.g., send, receive, common). There are also adapters that convert between the 25-pin connector and, say, RJ-11 phone cord, RJ-45 Cat 5, or even screw terminals for 3-conductor cable, or what-have-you, for connection to the computer (e.g., a DIN-8 in a Mac), or a converter for USB to RS-232. If it is a Male connector on PC it will be 25-pin Serial Port, If it is a female connector (purple colored if latest) it is parallel port, sometimes called Printer Port(LPT) - Naresh , InfoMax
A 25-pin female connector on the back of your computer will typically be
There are two types, a 25 pin male to 25 pin female, and the most common, 25 pin male to a Centronix, which is what printers use. There are 25 pin cables that is not are not printer cables, but they are very uncommon. Almost all the time when someone refers to a parallel cable they are referring to a printer cable, which is a 25-pin to Centronix cable.
This is a 25 pin cable, usually used to connect a printer to your computer (parallel port). Most printers connect using the USB cable anymore, as other external devices.
This is a connector used in serial and parallel ports.

XLR uses 3 pins, in order 1 = ground, 2 = hot, 3 = cold. You connect those to three pins in the 25 pins, but you need to check the manual of the connected unit which pins to connect them to.
What is the pin code for club fun 25?'
It's usually any 'socket' on a computer that allows it to connect with other devices. That could be USB, RS-232, or 5-pin DIN Older mice used 5-pin DIN connectors, printers used to use 25 way RS-232 'D' connectors, and of course most peripherals these days use USB.
Parallel port. The male connector is a serial port. Good luck on the A+ exam :P
