    USB printer cables are universal.

    This one is cheap and will work just fine.

    One customer once ran in the store saaying that her HP printer needed a special USB cables that was different from the other ones..... I finally ended it by telling her to contact HP, that they could make her a custom sized usb cable for her printer.... she looked happy and I bet she did it... :D
