Can mobile phone usb cables be used for printer connections? -

I have a brand new nokia usb cable DKE-2 that I m never going to need. I have also bought Epson BX300f/TX300f printer that doesn t come with usb cable to connect it to my laptop. But I realise the usb cable that came with my nokia phone looks exactly like what I m supposed to be buying for my printer and I m wondering if I can jut use it, instead of buying another one.

just plug it in and try it . it will do no harm to plug it in and give it a go.

If its a standard USB cable and it fits, it will work. Most of the phone cables are standard USB, if they weren t they would have different plugs. As above, if it fits, I m sure it will work. I use 1 USB cable for a PDA, Mobile phone and a Camera.

A Standard USB cable will be ok HOWEVER - most mobile phone USB cables have a male USB connector on one end (to fit he PC) and a phone connector on the other - which will NOT fit into a Printer. Standard USB cables are dirt cheap so just buy a new one !

Maybe you can, if they are same http://www.toboc.com/forum3/default.aspx… http://www.toboc.com/forum3/DEFAULT.ASPX…

Providing it has a standard USB socket one end and the other end has a small square plug with two chamfered corners

Hi! Sed, if they are the same it can work and it does not cause any harm to your computer. Good luck.
