Connectivity on laser and
inkjet printers
You will need a USB port to connect to a laser or inkjet printer. All inkjet
and laser printers nowadays have a USB port. There are 2 types of USB ports;
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is faster but the two types are compatible with
each other. Some laser or inkjet printers still have the older parallel port
technology if you prefer.
If you will print over a network, you will need an Ethernet port. You will
find that in workgroup laser printers. Some high-end models also support
wireless printing through infrared or Bluetooth technology.
Most laser and inkjet printers do not come with a printer cable that
connects the printer to the computer. Include printer cable cost in your
budget as well.
