Would like to connect an Epson Stylus C62 printer to my laptop - Pls help

Hi,

think this is what you need, I've only used this link to let you see the type of cable needed, the usb end is standard, but have a look at your printer to verify that end.

I'm sorry to say this but I was looking at the wrong cable earlier.

This is the type I have. I just found this now.

Hi,

looks more like it, though don't think will work with lappy, did you have a look at back of printer for the usb cable connection?

Lugh_Chronain

Just spotted it. Yes it does. It’s right next to the cable connection, reason why I probably didn’t see it in the first place.

The 1.8m USB cable on ebay looks like the type I need.

Now all I need to do is find out where to purchase one. I could get my brother to get the one on ebay as he has an account.

Thanks frugalmacdugal [and not forgetting diable & JustPassingBy as well]

Hi,

good, aye it's kinda hidden, I've seen them in the £1 shops, just make sure you get the right shape for the printer end.

Lugh_Chronain

I've just emailed my brother. Might be better to get the one you posted as says it’s for the C62. So should be compatible.

Thanks again frugalmacdugal

Hi,

aye, maybe best idea.

You'll be needing ink now, local charity shop had loads of Epson catridges today, don't know for what models as didn't pay much attention as I have a Lexmark, I'll have a look next day I'm in and check them out.

I have plenty of cartridges that my brother in-law gave me; he was the one who gave me the printer. I have about 8 so should be enough for now.

Next thing to do is set it up I think and get printing.

Hi,

well if you haven't got the installation disc, you could download the drivers from Epson in readiness.

I've got it; it's in the old computer.
