HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e All-in-One Printer

I upgraded from an officejet pro 8600 plus to an oficejet pro 9025e and the usb cable I used with my 8600 plus doesn't fit into the 9025e s usb socket in the back of the printer.   

 There is a sticker over the usb port on the 9025e with the usb icon crossed out and a wireless icon beside it on that sticker.

After I completed the HP Smart wireless setup on windows 10 and connected my android phone wireless to the printer, I than removed the sticker over the printers back usb port and tried to plugin the cable I used with my Officejet Pro 8600 plus. I couldn't fit the usb cable end into the printers usb socket. The usb plug appears to be too large to fit into the 9025e s rear usb socket.  

Does my 9025e support a usb connection to a computer? If my printer does support usb connection, is there a new sized usb plug that I need to order to fit into the 9025e s rear usb socket?

I turned the printer around and looked closer at the port and found that the port is sideways compared to the 8600 plus. 

My old usb printer cable fits in fine although on a different angle than I could see looking at it from the top of the printer.

It configured without issue and is now printing over usb.
