HP Photosmart A320 Compact Photo Printer - Manual (Page 16)

see “Install the software” on page 43 . The HP Photosmart software includes the
interface that is displayed whenever you print from a computer.
NOTE: The USB cable required for printing from a computer might not be included
in the box with the printer, so you might need to purchase it separately. The required
USB 2.0 high speed cable has a mini Type B 5-pin male connector at one end and a
Type A male connector at the other end. The mini Type B end connects to the back
of the printer, and the Type A end connects to a computer. HP recommends using a
USB cable less than 3 meters (10 feet) long to minimize injected noise due to
potentially high electromagnetic fields.
Be sure to download the latest software update every couple of months to ensure you
have the latest features and improvements.
