I just got the printer for Xmas, and to my suprise there was no cable to connect to my PC! Can anyone also let me know how much they cost, and where is a good place to buy them.
Many thanks

Printer manufatererereres don't normally include cables because most users have a cable around the place, most. There are a few USB cables out there today, but if you simply go to the store and tell the clerk you need a USB cable for your printer the clerk will give you a standard USB printer cable. In short, I prefer a USB 2.0 device cable. (faster standard than 1.0 but same connections and both work and you won't see a difference)

As you are using HP Photos mart D5160 printer, HP recommends to use Photo and Tricolor cartridge combinations to get good picture quality.

HP don't sell cables with printers, you need to buy it separately, you can buy HP's original cable, which costs 20$ and you can get more info about it in this page:

But you can find cheaper USB cable in stores, just remember don't buy a cable which is longer than 2 meters (6.5 feet)!! if you do, then your computer would have a problem in sending data to printer

Any computer/electronics store. You will need an A/B cable.
Annoying, ain't it, this assumption that you already have one?
