Printer cable question

1593 Views 20 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  dustyjay
Do I need to buy a new printer cable if I am replacing my printer? My HP 722C of 8 years just wore out, and I'm planning to replace it with an HP D4160. Thanks.

Yes you will need a different cable. The 722C is a parallel printer and your new printer will be USB. But the able shouldn't be more then a few dollars($10 or less). Don't bother buying an expensive cable because it makes no difference.
The place I work at sells them for about $4 for 6' - and thats Canadian. But you go to any big box store and its $20 and up, thats one of their money grabs. I bought a DVI to HDMI cable from work for $15 while Futureshop wanted over $100 for one.
