Printer Cable
Your printer connects to your computer with a USB cable. Your printer may not come with a printer cable, so

cable at the same time you purchased your computer, the cable may arrive in the computer box.

It is recommended that you use the front USB connectors for devices that
you connect occasionally, such as joysticks, cameras, or bootable USB devices.
