I am trying to connect my latitude laptop with my HP 450 mobile printer?
Can i do this with a usb cable or do i need a parallel cable as well? I got this printer without any cables. Thanks for any help, i am pretty computer illiterate.

Re: Question about printer

If the printer does not have wifi built in then you must use a USB cable which can be purchase at a local store or online.

If it has wifi then it is already online and you can install it as a network printer.

Re: Question about printer

Some printers can be figured either way, but not both.
USB will be faster.

Re: Question about printer

If you connect it using the USB port for the first time, installation is automatic since USB is a Plug and Play technology, it actually sets itself up with little or no help from you.Get the USB cable from a local store.
