Problem w printer? - <3 italiana <3 Printer question...can i use a printer while using a laptop? Just bought a bargain printer for 5 bucks (yes it does work) haha its a HP desk jet 920C. I took it home to hook it up, then realized that I don't have a place to plug it into my laptop?? (Compaq presario v2000) Can anybody help ? Am i missing a cord? I have the power cord, the big thick cord, but dont have one that goes into the other side (looks like USB?) picture: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/Da_dez_bombZzz/?action=view¤t=CIMG0869.jpg

Best Answer: The black cord should be your power cord. The big, thick grey cord is probably a parallel interface cord. It looks like the connector hole to the left of the big grey cord is a USB port, this is where you would want to plug in a USB cable that can connect to your laptop. This is the cord you would want to buy to use with your computer. Get a standard USB interface cable to go from your computer to printer and you should be good to go (take off that big grey one). Best of luck. - Denver Al
