Printer

To connect a printer, plug the printer cable into the parallel port 
located on the rear panel of your computer. 

USB devices 

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a new serial bus design that is capable of 
cascading low-/medium-speed peripherals (less than 12 Mbps) such as a 
keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. With USB, 
complex cable connections can be eliminated. 

Your computer comes with two USB ports. These ports allow you to 
connect additional serial devices to your computer without using up its 
system resources.
