Hello! Right, I've just bought a NEW Epson Photo RX640 - And, like.. Where the heck do I conect it to the computer. I'm clever on computers, but lol.. I'm stumped.. There's a plug socket, a front USB slot, from Flash Drive's etc.. But not for Printer USB. Um, also there's a wire going from the lid to the printer, and it tells me, that thats it.. But it doesnt come out. Here's a picture... http://www.zeldio.co.uk/MYSPACE/printer.jpg
It's crazy.... Please, someone help me..
Yeah, thanks!
Kirk!

Did you read the QUICK START GUIDE or the MANUAL it came with ? That'll tell you exactly where to connect it!!!!

You'll see a square socket with two corners cut off on your printer,(USB A). You connect a USB cable with a USB B connector,(if memory serves about the USB style, A, or B, might have them reversed), that is the usual Flat USB connector style, lot's of us are familiar with, to your computer in any open USB port. The other end goes to the printer. Sometimes you really have to look hard. Check your manual, or see if you can download one from the printer manufacturer's website,(Pdf). The cable you see, connects the lid to the printer body, is all, leave it alone!

It's not that lead coming out of the lid, that's probably for a transparency scanner in the lid assuming that there is one on your model.
Look around the back of the device for a USB B port, it will probably be square with a bevelled top. In your printer box you may have got a USB A - B lead, if not then you will need to buy one. One end plugs into this port, the other to a USB A (flat rectangular) port on your computer.

There should be a usb lead, plug it in to any usb socket and the computer will install the drivers. If you dont have a spare usb you can buy usb ports for about a tenner
