   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1284

   An IEEE 1284 36-pin female on a circuit board. In the 1970s, Centronics developed the now-familiar printer parallel port that soon became a de facto standard.Centronics had introduced the first successful low-cost seven-wire print head [citation needed], which used a series of solenoids to pull the individual metal pins to strike a ribbon and the paper.

3. Parallel port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port

   If no printer port is present at 0x3BC, the second port in the row (0x378) becomes logical parallel port 1 and 0x278 becomes logical parallel port 2 for the BIOS. Sometimes, printer ports are jumpered to share an interrupt despite having their own IO addresses (i.e. only one can be used interrupt-driven at a time). In some cases, the BIOS ...

4. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   Networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable , optical fiber cable , and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's topology ...

5. Computer port (hardware) - Wikipedia

   Examples of computer connector sockets on various laptops Ports on the back of the Apple Mac Mini (2005) A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment. [1] This is a non-standard term.

6. Printer cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_cable

   Printer cable refers to the cable that carries data between a computer and a printer. There are many different types of cables, for example: Serial: RS-232, EIA-422; Parallel; FireWire; USB; Parallel port printers have been slowly phased out, and are now difficult to find for the most part, being considered as an obsolete legacy port on most ...

7. Attachment Unit Interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_Unit_Interface

   The physical interface consists of a 15-pin D-subminiature connector that links an Ethernet node's physical signaling to the Medium Attachment Unit (MAU), [2] sometimes referred to as a transceiver. An AUI cable can extend up to 50 metres (160 feet), though often the MAU and data terminal equipment 's (DTE) medium access controller (MAC) are ...

8. Parallel Line Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

   A solution was to use, at the time, a standard parallel port, typically used for connection to a printer or similar output device. The ports on two computers are connected with a so-called null-printer cable, sometimes called a LapLink cable.
