How do I know what kind of USB cable I need for my printer?

Q. I am looking for a particular USB cable for an older HP printer. The trouble is that I don't know how to describe it. The output and input jacks have varying sizes and dimensions. Is there terminology that describes the various sizes and dimensions, so that I can buy the correct cable?
The dimensions are different on the printer output jack, so it is not the standard USB cable.

A. I'm in agreement with Benjamin M. It'll be a standard USB A-B cable.

How can I add tackiness to a rubber roller in a printer/copier?
Q. The paper-feed in my old laser printer is having trouble grabbing a sheet.because the rubber wheel has dried out and gotten too slick. Any replacement part would be expensive and has probably already dried up on the shelf. How can I restore some tackiness to the rubber without gumming up everything? Double-sided cellophane tape is a bit too strong. I am counting on the Hobbies and Crafts community for a creative idea.

A. I've just washed the ones that I've had trouble with... soap and water if you can take the roller out.

Otherwise, what I find that's really good to clean various things is white-board cleaner fluid. but start small and see how your roller might react to it.

Your wheel is probably not dried out, but just covered with paper fibers (powder) that no longer permit it to grab well..

Where can I buy a driver CD for a Lexmark X215 printer?
Q. This is to be used for Windows XP Professional. Have a new computer and need to install this printer, yet even having trouble downloading the driver from the Lexmark website. Would like to try find a CD somewhere.

A. Most likely you won't be able to purchase the CDs without also purchasing the printer itself. However, the drivers will be available online from other parties than Lexmark.
