My printer has a parallel port and a usb port. Can I connect and print from two different computers ?

using these two ports. Ex. My home PC connected with the parallel port and my laptop with the usb port?

You can do that only if your computers won’t run at the same time with the printer switched on because even if you are not printing anything your printer and one of the computers are permanently sending a connection signal.At this point if another computer is blocking this signal by sending it’s own the printer is confused.It’s a little bit complicated.I hope I made myself understood.
