I have a Dell Domension E510 and a Lexmark printer and I am trying to find out the heck to connect my printer to the tower? The cable from the printer doesn't seem to fit anywhere in the tower and i'm not the most technology savvy so i'm lost. I have a paper I need to write and have no where to print it if I don't get it hooked up, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sounds like the Printer came with a Parallel cable. The ports for this type of cable aren't on most home computers anymore. A usb cable is more than likely what you need.

Your computer may be an older model that did'nt have usb connections if thats the case you can get a PCI card that will upgrade it with usb connectors they are available cheap at http://www.tigerdirect.com

I suggest that you go to your local computer shop and ask then for the proper connection cable, one that will connect the two devices together. Or, they might not be compatible.

use an USB cable and connect it in any usb port front or back, best is back so wont see the cable all time.
