Citizen Printer

Is it possible to connect a HP Deskjet Printer to a Acer laptop?

A friend kindly donated an HP Deskjet F380 Printer/Copier/Scanner to me. However I have an Acer Aspire 3680 laptop and the lead from the Deskjet does not fit into it anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a cable available I could buy to connect the two? Or are they not compatible?? Any help would be appreciated!

I have an acer laptop & i bought a HP deskjet printer & yes you can use them together. You just need a USB cable if there isnt 1 with the printer. I puchased my USB cable from tesco. Hope this helps xxx
The printer and the laptop both have USB ports and a standard USB cable should do the trick.
if you don't have a usb connection, you cannot connect it to your laptop if you have sub connection you will need usb cable,if the printer as and old com connection, then buy a new printer, at around £50. you can buy usb cables very cheaply from any computer shop.
Yes you can. All you need is the right printer cable. You need a USB cable. Any Computer store will have the USB cable in stock. If your laptop doesn't have a USB port than you will need a USB to Parallel adapter. Best Buy, Future shop, Staples, or a computer repair shop will carry this adapter.
hi its also about the age of the printer and whether or not you can get the ink carts you could try maplin electronics they have loads of adaptors.
You need a USB to Parallel adaptor. Available on ebay and Office Depot. Ebay is much cheaper if your not in a hurry,
