I need a USB cable to connect an Epson NX 105 printer to my laptop. Can I buy it at any office supply store?

It appears that I need a type "B" cable. I need it fast for my son's school project.

  1. well yeah and many times you could use the usb cable from other electronics such as your camera or graphing calculator
  2. I bought mine at Wal Mart for about $10.00. Just look for a USB printer cable
  3. Yeah... Or at the 99 cent only store. Basically, if the plug fits.. it's good. A and B have to do with where the little plastic tongue is on the inside of the computer end of things... Hard to find an strictly A type around anymore. The cable you want will have a small rectangle on one side and a square with the top corners beveled on the other. *** EDIT *** DO NOT spend more than maybe $10 -12 US on the cable. You don;t need or want a $35 gold tipped schmancy extra insulted hyper quantum star trek usb cable. They have been shown time and again to be electrically identical to the one you get for $6.
  4. Absolutely! Try this link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=76 they have lots for around $6.99.
  5. Yes its B on one end and A on the other http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Accessories&oid=63082823&category=Products http://www.onsale.com/shop/detail~dpno~995610~descr~Belkin-6+Foot+Pro+Series+Hi-Speed+USB+2.0+A-B+Cable+-+Connect+your+computer+to+your+printer+and+peri.aspx http://www.walmart.com/browse/Computers/Printers-Ink/Printer-Cables/_/N-7r0m?catNavId=37807&catNavId=37807&fromPageCatId=37807&ic=48_0&path=0%3A3944&ref=125875.361606
  6. You can use any a to b cable, you dont have to spend a fortune. If you can find it at the 99 cent store it will work. You can get it online for $4 including shipping at many places including http://ccs-digital.com And here's another tip: your printer uses the same cartridges as my C120 and CX8400. I get them for under $3 at http://ccs-digital.com and they hold 66% more ink than Epson. Tell them DavidJ referred you and you'll get a free cartridge added to your order.
