I have read reviews on this item, stating that the printer comes WITH usb connector, and review saying WITHOUT. Can someone give me a definite answer?

I ordered my wife a laptop for Christmas and I bought her the exact printer that you are referring to. It did not come with a USB cable. It has a connection but you have to buy a separate cable to connect to your computer or laptop.

No. It has a parallel port for printing. You have to get a parallel port to USB adapter to drive a USB printer. There's also a need to disable bi-directional printing (I believe it's called), or you'll wait six minutes for the printing to occur.

No. This is a wired printer. You must have a USB printer cable in order to connect this machine to your computer.

Tom,Yes it does. I bought this printer a few weeks ago. No USB cable though!

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing.I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

Seriously, I couldn't find a lot of info on this printer. I do know it's a wireless printer, as so many are these days, but I'm pretty sure it is also a USB printer. Look at your printer, or check the manual. HP usually has information available on the web, in my opinion they are the best computer maker out there as far as product and support. If you decide you need a cable then by all means get the Mediabridge cable, it's a great cable at a great price and available through Amazon.

The USB connection to "hard wire" the printer to your computer is located under the top cover of the printer...very easily accessible and very easy to hook up. The instructions provided with the printer are very easy to understand and show the connection very well. Hope this helps!

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?

Just a usual USB cable with the regular plug on one end and the small plug on the other - but most importantly, you should save yourself the money and find another printer that doesn't cut out on you when there is still ink in the cartridge ;).

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

The printer does NOT come with an USB cable, hence you must buy it separtely so that you can connect the printer with your PC.

Hello! Sorry I can't help for sure, but I do not own that printer! Not sure why Amazon thinks I do. However, the cable does look to be a standard USB printer cable. The flat connector goes into the PC and the "covered bridge" connector goes into the printer, I would think.

What do you need a USB cable for? My printer works fine without one. I do have a problem getting the cartridges in quickly. Any ideas? I've had this about a year.

Sue, You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house). Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet.

This is a stand alone printer. It prints from the device it is attached to. Are you attaching it to your computer? I would imagine via the usb connector it would print any picture format compatible with it.

Despite what others say, the connector is standard USB ON BOTH ENDS. On the PC end, it is the standard type-A and on the printer end, type-B. I promise.
