How To Connect A Printer To A Computer With A USB Cable

In this video, I show you how to connect a printer to a computer with a USB cable. It is a fairly simple process, and I explain the instructions in this video. There are basically 2 cables that you need to worry about when making this type of connection: a power wire, and a USB wire. I also outline the slight visual difference in USB type A and USB type B connectors.

Thank you. I had forgotten. Been having much difficulty with the wireless thing for years off and on. Now my documentation for the wireless connection disappeared by apparently growing legs and walking away from my computer desk. I just wanted and need!!! a SIMPLE connection from my computer to my expensive Brother wonder laser printer so that I can print documents without the recurring problems whenever the electrical power goes out screwing up my wireless connection.

Thanks for your video! We knew what each end looked like but didn't know they were A and B ends. Much appreciated!❤

Thank you for this great basic video. My printer dropped from my wi-fi and I have called customer service each for printer and internet without any success. It is suppose to have something to do with the fact that printers drivers have been upgraded to work off of 3 or 4 ghz and my internet only supports 2.4 or 5. This information took a better part of my week (hours) after trying with their help to reconnect to the network. Why they didn't both verify the ghz at the start I don't know - todays customer service! Not always the employees fault either. Anyway I thought I will just hard wire my desktop to my printer for now. I also have a laptop that I hope I can bring beside the printer and plug in when needed. I did find out that I needed a USB A to B cable, so your video was great to confirm this before buying - as you can see I lost some confidence in the information I was receiving. Thanks again and have a great Holiday Season.

So simple [but I didn't know how] and you were very clear. Thank you.

Even the things you would think would be the easiest thing to do can sometimes be thought of as difficult. Thanks for the easy visual demo as I am sure this clarifies the uncertainty people have (or at least I had), when seeing what the connection actually would look like.

Thank you so much was really useful for me!!! Knowing the essentials in computers I bought a Chrome Os (I don't recommend this, if people don"t know about pcs or programs) Anyways I got my laptop and then I bought a printer canon So the manual was for the programs with window And if you don"t have window Get a cable USB, Believe me ha ha I feel proud because I didn't know anything about this! Thanks again for teach this!!!
