    Either usb printer cable which is what all new pc's will come with or parallel printer cable " older connection" you can buy from any small high street computer shop only a couple of £.

    Goto a Post office.

    £1.99

    Make sure it's a larger PO not some shop with a small PO in it.

    Our local £1 shop stocks them, usually about £1 each as I remember!
    I love my spell checker, it stops me making all sorts of stupid smelling mistakes. :doh:
