      Hell, even my 3d printer connects to a computer via USB B, if you want/need to connect directly to it.

      I don’t think I’ve ever owned a printer that had USB-B that didn’t also have Ethernet. The last time I hooked a printer directly to a computer instead of to the network, it was using a parallel port.

          At least not for almost 30 years.

          I think that was the last time I used a SCSI port printer with our family Mac. I know PCs hung on to parallel a little longer, but my first a win 98 machine had usb and a custom scsi port for my scanner and Zip drive (before I got an ATA internal Zip).
