Hi,

Where is the cheapest place I could pick up a A-B usb cable for my printer. PCWorld were charging 17.99 but I'm pretty sure I can do better seeing as some websites sell them for a fiver (but there is a 10 euro delivery charge negating much savings)

I just got a free Canon bubble jet printer s330 and want to connect it to my PC. The person kept the old USB cable.
When I got my cable modem installed the tech used the ethernet socket and left behind a USB cable. It says computer on one end and cable modem on the other and written on cable it says usb shielded high speed rev.2.0 e81280-d. Could I use this to connect my PC and Printer?
I'm running Windows XP. Any help appreciated. Could I damage pc or Printer?

If it's a USB cable then you should be able to use it.
