I have a inkjet printer connected by a parallel cable (printer cable)
and usually upon printing the first page, there is some hesitation
before the printed page processes at the printer. If I should
eliminate the parallel cable and switch the printer to a usb cable,
will the same thing occur?
 
Probably not. If it's an HP inkjet, it uses your CPU to do its print
processing -the lag is normal.
 
I switched my HP 880c to USB from parallel and
have noticed no difference in printing behavior.
