A co-worker is looking into buying a printer, and was wondering which
kind would be better, USB and/or parallel.  (There are also some that do
both).

Parallel printers tend to load down the system when busy, but serial
devices tend to load them down even more, although USB is a whole
different animal.

What are the trade-offs?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
