    Hi guys.
    I got a free Lexmark X3470 together with An Acer Aspire 5102WLMI from Circuit City. Problem is it doesn't have a USB cable to connect to my laptop. Does anyone have an idea what kind of cable should I get? I checked the port on the printer and it looks nothing like a USB. Thanks in advance

    I have one of those lexmark printers, can't remember the model number though. If you go to best buy or other stores, they sell them for $25+. But, you can find the same cable at stores like Biglots or repc aka pc recycle for $5 or less. So, look around you can get them cheap.

    Yeah, that's it. Thanks.
    I borrowed my brother's HP printer cable, and it's the same as this one. It worked perfectly with the Lexmark printer.
    Thanks for the help, Zolo.

    www.pcimicro.com has 6 foot USB A to B cables (like the one pictured) for $3 shipped. I have bought a bunch from them for various applications, including whatever Lexmark printer came with my sister's new laptop from Circuit City.
