parallel vs. usb cable printer connection

[dbtexas]

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.

Didn't you mean "Yes, the lag will probably remain"?

I switched my HP 880c to USB from parallel and
have noticed no difference in printing behavior.
