Product: HP Deskjet 3830
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I have just bought a new HP Deskjet 3830 for my home office. 
I opened the box and found all the needed cables except for the USB A Male to USB B Male (what is needed from what I can see) cord to connect to my laptop. 

I have a particular preference for USB connected printers (Personal preferance). 

My question is, was this printer supposed to come with this connector in the box? 
Or am I expected to purchase one separately?

 

Thank you, 

Chris

USB cable are typically not included for years.  You need one of these.
