What type of cable would I need to connect my printer to my laptop? -

I have a printer with a USB socket on it but have lost the cable for it. Do I just buy a cable to go into the USB port of the printer and the USB port of the laptop or would it go into a different socket on the laptop (there is a socket on the laptop that looks like a telephone socket!). MIght be a stupid question but I really dont know! Can anyone help?

Buy yourself another USB cable You need a USB A-B cable. One end (the smaller end) goes into the printer. Other end goes into a free USB port on your laptop.

One that fits in the back on your printer.

All you need is a simple device USB cable. It will have a standard USB connector on one end, and a smaller USB connector on the other end. The small end goes to the printer, and the standard end goes to your computer. They are at pretty much any store (target, wal-mart, office max, radio shack, even big lots).

how about i come and fix it for you....lol

just use a usb cable that fits both ends

your printer probly uses a usb check and see the socket that looks like a phone socket is for your wireless cable.

Normal usb

As said you need a USB A to B cable, the flat end goes into your lappy and the square end into the printer. If you re in the UK go to www.ebuyer.com you ll pick one up there for a couple of quid.

Just ask for a USB cable because all USB cables are the same and it does not matter for what you use it

a USB shud do da job :D:D:D:Dd

If your printer has a USB port, then you would need a USB cord to connect it to your computer that has an open USB port to plug it into.

You need a USB A to B cable, the flat end goes into your lap antop d the square end into the printer. Try PC World or www.scan.co.uk

you need a USB 2.0 cable. the two ends of the cable are different. the socket on the laptop has this symbol on it; http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/236…
