lol I'm pretty embarassed about this, but here goes.

I just ordered THIS (http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=6197) printer, and I need a USB cable.

However, I don't know which one I need [insert embarassed smiley here]

I think it might be "maleA/maleB" (I have no clue what that means, but it made me sound clever. Didn't it...?) So can someone tell me what cable I need? There seem to be loooooads of them. I spose it will be the same as my old HP deskjet, a flatish rectangle shaped head one end, and a square one the other end, but im not sure at all. http://www.baller3613.fslife.co.uk/Smileys/rofl.gif

so can someone tell me please? and if poss, link me to an example picture so I know what I'm buying :D

Much appreciated. too_much in fact.... *waits for rapturous laughter* no?
Bah.

Matt :)

It's likely you'll need a male A to male B cable, that's what they generally need in printers. The A end is squarish and goes into your printer, while the B end is thin and flat, and goes into your computer.

sm8000 is right. i bought one of them last week for my mother in law and sure enough, doesnt come with cable. i had to give up one of my precious ones.

was kind of a bugger to install too. ended up having to just skip file for one file it couldnt find with included software. its been working fine though, prints good
