Computer network.
A port is a communications endpoint on a computer, referred to as a host. A port-server operates on a specific port number of a specific port for communication.
Parallel port. The male connector is a serial port. Good luck on the A+ exam :P
Many devices have traditionally been connected to a parallel port. The most common usage was for printers. Image scanners, external hard drives, and Ethernet adapters have also been created for the parallel port.
LPT1 (parallel port -aka; printer port). Parallel ports are often called LPT (Line Printer) ports since they are most often used for printers. Parallel ports on the system side are always 25pin female.
Yes.
output cause the parallel port is outside the computer
Computer peripherals are connected to ports. For instance, a printer may be connected to a serial or parallel port. Modern keyboards and mice are commonly connected to the computer using the USB port.
Parallel Port-Most common uses are to connect older printers to the computer
A parallel connector, or parallel port, is an interface used to connect a computer to some external peripheral. An example of things that can hook up to a computer using a parallel port include a printer and/or a scanner. More recently, the USB interface has become extremely common and most types of devices that used to commonly hook up via parallel port now hook up by USB instead.
The answer to your question is NO. The HP 4200 does not come with a USB port, only parallel and optional ethernet ports. You can get a parallel to USB cable if you do not have a parallel port on your computer.

A DB-25 port is a type of connector that has 25 pins arranged in two rows. It was commonly used for serial and parallel interfaces on older computer equipment such as printers, modems, and early networking devices.

That depends on how many are installed. One used to be standard on the motherboard. Some modern PCs have deleted that port since USB is much easier to use. If your machine has PCI or other expansion card sockets you can buy parallel port expansion cards and add several. It is also possible to add parallel ports using USB to parallel port adapters.How many do you want?
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.
