HP Photosmart A310 Compact Photo Printer - Manual (Page 29)

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. If
you purchased an HP camera in the box with the printer,
you can use the USB cable included with the camera.
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.
