A USB cable will work. This printer also can be connected to a computer via an Ethernet cable.

1. If you want to use a wireless connection, I believe you do not any additional cables at all.2. If you want a special dedicated fax line, you need to do a setup and some phone cable(s).3. If you just want to connect it to your computer w/o any fancy stuff, you need a simple USB cable indicated in the manual. No big deal, easy. I don't know/remember the cable model, but it's a very common and simple one.Look at the printer USB cable socket to see what type and shape, then look at the inlet/connector on your PC, and you will know what ends your USB should have.Sorry I didn't give you a better answer. 1.

My IT friend advised me that the cable is "standard", so can be purchased at any IT store. I hope this helps!

The printer comes with a Power Cord & a Telephone Cable in the box. The ethernet cable and/or USB cable have to be purchased seperately.

Hi. Since you're able to scan and print using the cable, there's no need for you to get a different one. You may have to contact your printer manufacturer as it may have something to do with your printer configuration.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

My printer was provided with a power cord. However, it is 110 voltage so any cord that wil fit into the recepticle would probably work since it is unlikely the printer pulls a lot of amps.

No, you'd only need an ethernet cable to connect physically to your router/switch/access point. If you're using wireless, it will find your router during printer setup. No cable necessary...

Sorry, I don't recall, maybe not. I know I bought a cable with my 1st printer. But I already had one when I got this current printer and got another since I do like the Canon MP480. That's why I got another one when my old one died from something breaking inside.

Hello Nyla,Alot of Printers require an USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable for a direct connection to a laptop to print. If your laptop and printer have an Ethernet port, you could use this cable to print. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

This is a standard printer cable and should work if that is what the 3250 requires. If your printer is wireless, you may not even need a cable.

Your chances are good, but to be sure you might borrow a USB cable from a printer and verify that it plugs into your machine. If so, then you should be able to use this cable which is a typical printer cable.

There are usb ports. That's the most popular printer connection if your printer is not network (LAN or wireless) enabled.

This will work. Actually its all you need. It should be 6 ft. long. That's how long the original cable is. I didn't think my Canon printer had the cord attached when i bought it, but it did. I bought this generic myself thinking i needed it, now i have a spare.

Standard printer USB cord (flat in one side -USB standard / kind of square in the other end - like the ones used in any USB printer)

Your printer compatibility is the major concern. Should you have the proper cable end, the USB is a given with any operating system when the computer has ... USB.
