Product: HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer series
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My computer is too old for a wireless connection (I have internet but it's got a hardwire) and I need to connect by Officejet 3830 with a USB connector - I have no idea what kind of USB  connector to buy - any help? I know the USB side, but are there other choices for the other end?
