What is the printer cable used for?

The printer and computer need to communicate through a wired or wireless connection. The wired interface is divided into USB, LPT, and RJ45

The principles of wireless and wired network printing are the same. This type of printer is equipped with a wireless network card, just like a mobile phone or laptop. Connect to the wifi network and add the printer IP address through the computer (it must be in the same network segment as the printer). The connection will be successful.

Nowadays, both laser and inkjet printers use USB interfaces. Due to the slow transmission speed, LPT has been eliminated by these two types of printers.

Now, only dot matrix printers are equipped with LPT interfaces. Only inkjet and laser printers have network ports, but dot matrix printers do not.
