Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Can you help. We've seen a Canon printer that looks quite good (S300) - anyone any experience of it - good or bad? Secondly it uses a USB connection only - in people's experience are USB or parallel connections better? Secondly, when connecting printers using a USB connection - do you connect it to the printer port at the back (which looking at my PC is a serial connection i.e. a big long socket, or are there USB connections which use that type of plug/socket - as I thought USB sockets were smaller), or to the USB port at the back of the PC?

USB allows a little more ease in setting up in some situations. You can add more USB ports with a USB hub if you need to > Secondly, when connecting printers using a USB connection - do you connect > it to the printer port at the back no, you are talking about the parallel port (25 pin female D conector). This is what you would connect a parallel printer cable to. A USB printer would indeed go into one of the (small rectangular) USB ports james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
