According to the Dell manual for this printer: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/a940/a940en1.pdf
It uses a A-B USB cable. These cables are quite normal and you should be able to find it in any computer shop.
Here is a picture of that cable: http://www.coolgear.com/images/UBAMBM-2M1.jpg

It is a standard USB cable with a type B tip that can be picked up at any electronics store for very cheap. As far as using it with a laptop, you can use this printer with a laptop through either a direct USB connection or via sharing your printer through the network.

Acer 4310 power problem

Sounds like your DC Power Jack where the Power Cord plugs into the computer is bad.

Take an ink pen and push the tip inside the jack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have to take the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto the motherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.


If the DC Power Jack is bad, then eventually the battery is going to die and you won't be able to boot your laptop. If the dc power jack is bad, the ac adapter power cord can't charge the battery.

I lost the cord that connects my Cannon Printer (3 in one) to my computer. Can I use any cord that will fit both computer and printer or does it have to be a special connector cord?

you can use any USB cable:

I lost my instructions to hook up my printer to my computer i have a canon mx310.. i need to know which phone cord goes into the computer and printer?????

I hope this installation/setup guide will help you [Click Here]. If I am right, you don't need a phone cord to connect the printer and the computer, but a USB cable. If it's in case of Fax, you would need the phone cord to connect the line to the printer/fax machine.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good Luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

HP 2600n Lost Power Cord

It is a standard printer/pc cord. Kinda looks like a D shape with the 3 terminals in it. Trust me here if you have one of these cords and it fits into the HP's power port then it is fine.

I moved and lost my power cord for my lexmark x7170. Just need another one! Any ideas

Is is just a power cord - they have tons of them at Goodwill, Savers.....I even pick up USB printer cables for $2 (instead pay $25 at Best Buy)
If the cord contains a transformer (black box) - then you will probably have to order one online (for the best deal).

I need to know what cords do I need to hook up my printer to my laptop, I can't get the power light to come on

Probably a USB cord. I believe this printer has a separate power supply.

Printers do not normally come with the USB. The good news is you can buy this cord just about anywhere. You should know, there is a special USB cord for printers - one end is smaller than the other end - the smaller end goes into the printer.

If you need software, please go to www.lexmark.com/support

I hope this information helps you.

Lost cord

hi,

you can try looking at thrift stores, usually they have a "cord wall" or cord bin, that lexmark I believe has the power supply that kind of fits into the back of the printer so it should be easy to spot, but when you look at the power suppliy make sure it says lexmark on it before you buy it,
just an idea
