What’s Your Preference?

I just got a new printer, well new to me at least, and I am having one heck of a time trying to figure out where to connect the USB cable. I've searched all around and cannot find the connector. Since it is an "older" model I also looked for both serial and parallel ports but could find neither of those either. Perhaps someone could take a look at the picture and figure out for me how to hook it up so I can get it to print:

It is a wireless USB printer. It goes with SATA-3 and 3-D monitors.

Oh Ace! One of the new "Think it and it will print" thought controlled printers that prints out in 3D! Cool

No, it's obviously one of the old ones without a built-in motor. You need a computer with a motor in it to drive it.

Darn I need a computer with a motor? I thought they told me that this was an AF-S or HSM model with a motor built in. Are you telling me this is the fully manual version?

It says it right on the top. It is the STANDARD model. Be lucky you got that one, because the earlier versions required a chain drive.

This is the latest "voice actuated" printer
!. Turn it round
2 seat your secretary behind it, and start to dictate
3 Pay the secretary and sign the document if needed.

I think I really screwed up on this purchase. I know hear you have to buy an add-on called something like "carbon paper" if you want to print the same thing out more than once.
