set it up with the wireless (WIFI) connection. i did that in my house & it worked much better than trying to connect with a cable. Now any PC with WIFI can print to it, including Tablets

I am using a desktop, but my Canon is connected via USB port, so I see noreason why you cannot do that with a laptop. Contact Canon support to be sure.I am very happy with this printer, the ink is inexpensive and it has performedextremely well.

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?

A standard USB to printer cable is correct and should be a few dollars at WalMart or BestBuy, or you local supermarket.,(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compatible+With+HP+PSC+All-in-One+Printer+USB+2.0+Cable+Cord+A-B+-+White/1307200988.p?id=mp1307200988&skuId;=1307200988&st;=printer%20cable&cp;=1&lp;=6). Hope this helps.

i'm in a different location than the kodak, and i use the wireless connection. i think you can use a usb cable or purchase a wireless adapter with a usb connector to connect to the printer wirelessly.

There is a usb connection at the back of the printer, you just have to install the software before connecting it.

either thru the usb port or the printer portwhich is the 1 1/2 connector on the back depending on the cable supplied with the printer

It's a network capable printer. You can use an Ethernet cable to connect it to your router. Any computer connected to your router, whether by Ethernet cable or wirelessly using wifi, can install and use this printer. So if your laptop connects wirelessly to the internet using your router, your laptop can add this printer and then use it wirelessly. You can also connect the printer directly to your computer using an Ethernet cable.

Roll over image to zoom in USB To Parallel Printer Adapter Cable... you can find this on Amazon.com in different lengths.

well you connect the usb to the computer, you allow the computer to install the printers program and then u pressed print on the file you wanna print. this is the thing, you gotta make sure you are sending it to your printer, cuz as default the computer sends the file to a standart printer. what you have to do is make sure you are sending it to your printers name. after that the computer will automatically send the file to your printer.hope it works!

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

I'd assume any printer that has a USB port to connect to the computer, as most new printers have this. I don't use it to print things personally.

i don't know because the printer is attached to a Windows laptop, but the person who uses the printer says it works perfectly well except that he needed to purchase a USB that didn't come with printer

For the data portion this printer can use a USB cable and be connected directly to a computer. You still however need to use the enclosed power adapter to power the unit.

You're typical printer to usb cable, flat rectangle one end, squarish on the other. Just type in Printer USB cable. You can also hook this us to your router and have it on the network (that's what I did).
