Using a printer with the Advanced Port 
Replicator
In addition to connecting a printer to your computer, you can 
also connect a printer to an Advanced Port Replicator. The 
replicator supports a USB- , serial- , or parallel-compatible 
printer.
Before you can connect the printer to the replicator, you need 
to know whether it uses a USB, serial or parallel interface. 
Check the printer’s documentation. 
If the printer is not a USB printer and can be switched 
between serial and parallel mode, chose parallel because it is 
faster.
