You can, provided that the laser printer has a USB connection and provided that the computer has a USB port and that the Operating System is capable of supporting the printer (it must have the proper "drivers" loaded)
Yes, you plug the USB port of the printer into the USB port in the router.
You plug it into an available USB port on your computer.
The printer cord (either the power cord or USB/ethernet cable) on an Epson printer connects at the following locations: Power Cord Location: The power cord port is located on the back of the printer, typically on one side (left or right). How to Connect: Plug one end of the power cord into the power port on the back of the printer. Plug the other end into a wall outlet or power strip. USB Cable (Wired Connection to a Computer) Location: The USB port is also on the back of the printer, near the power cord port. How to Connect: Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on the printer. Plug the other end into a USB port on your computer. Ethernet Cable (If Connecting to a Network) Location: For printers with network capability, the Ethernet port is located on the back of the printer, usually next to the USB port. How to Connect: Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the printer. Plug the other end into your router or network switch. If you need help finding the exact ports or setting up, let me know!
plug it in a USB port
plug the printer's cord into the laptop's USB port
An impact printer (dot matrix) usually uses either a serial, or parallel port. It depends on the printer and computer ports available. Most modern inkjet or laser printers use either wifi or a USB connection.
kn laser port
If you cannot find a USB cable for the PRINTER then it is proably a Network printer which means you cannot use it with USB!! :@ If you have no USB port on ur PC/Mac then you need to change it! :D Simples!!
Is the laptop not USB? Or is the printer not USB? Assuming it is the printer, there are components that will allow a serial or parallel printer to be used. Serial or parallel socket (female) on one end, while a USB plug (male) is on the other. There are also single parallel to USB cables for directly connecting the parallel port on the printer to the USB port on the laptop.
It depends on the type of printer! Some printers (older types, mainly) used serial, or parallel ports. Most modern printers use USB or wifi.
The primary difference is that a USB interface type printer requires the computer to have a USB port (as all modern computers do) whereas a parallel interface type printer requires the computer to have a parallel (LPT) port (which many modern computers do not have.) There are USB-to-parallel converters however which plug into USB and allow the use of parallel printers. Additionally, many legacy applications only have support for parallel printers, in these cases, in order to use a USB printer it may be necessary to create a virtual parallel port and map the USB printer to it.
Such code usually means that your computer does not see the printer. Try Control Panel->Printer and Faxes->Add a printer->Next->Local printer attached to this computer (uncheck "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer")->Next->Create a new port->Choose "Standard TCP/IP Port"->Next->Next->Enter the ip address of your printer and follow instructions. Most likely you will driver for your printer, thus find it before staring the process.
