I have just bought an HP D2630 printer but the USB cable to connect it to my computer was not supplied. What kind of cable do I need to buy? Is it just a standard USB 2.0 cable? Thanks!

Depends on the printer but I would go to ebuyer.com to check which. And they'll do the best price. Good luck.

Hello,
(ANS) You just need a straight forwards USB 2.0 printer cable or data cable. That's VERY bad that the maker hasnt supplied a cable with the printer, HP supplies cables when you purchase a new machine from them usually? I've not come across that situation before unless HP have changed their policy recently?
**You can purchase one from the following website, they specialise in cables.

particular, an adapter is a accessible answer. you should get this at suited purchase or Radio Shack. of course, my suggestion may well be to interchange the printer. Reasoning: Older printers are greater durable to get supplies for and the aspects do positioned on and tear. Printers are throw away purchases to any extent further. The fee is interior the supplies, that can definitely cost you greater desirable than the printer itself. once you bypass to the shops searching for this adapter think of with reference to the cost earnings diagnosis theory. Are you getting your cash's extremely worth paying for the adapter over changing the printer now?

D2630 is the ink type ... not the model of the printer .... please add comments with the correct printer model.
They don't include cables so that the reseller may make some margin by selling the cable separately.... they don't make much profit on home printers & wouldn't even bother carrying them otherwise.

It is a real pain when the manufacturer doesn't put the cable in the box.... they usually charge £9.99 for it as an extra.
Rip off... all printers I've encountered in recent years (i've helped a few of my mum's friends get their pcs set up) use a standard type USB to small port cable. Can get em off ebay pretty cheap.

Have a technician look at it, and they should know what type of cable you need for it.
