Printer ports are interfaces that connect printers to computers, and common types include USB, parallel (IEEE 1284), and network ports (Ethernet). USB ports are widely used for direct connections, while parallel ports were common in older printers. Network ports allow printers to connect to a network for shared access. Diagrams typically illustrate the physical layout of these ports on the printer and the corresponding cables or connections to the computer.
