All you need to connect it to your laptop is a USB cable to plug into the printer so it can connect to the laptop. If your printer came with a CD, then install it using that.

Most of the time you need a Type A to Type B USB cable to connect printer to a PC or Laptop. Both side connector are different. You can get these cheap (less than $3-4) on internet or in discount electronics stores.

Can you connect your laptop to your tv with a HDMI lead?

Yes, you can in some cases. If your laptop has an HDMI output, a single HDMI lead is all that you will need. Most laptops with an HDMI output also include sound on the connectors but there are some that don't. If your laptop has a DVI connector, a DVI to HDMI lead will work but note that there is never any sound on a DVI connector. If you need to run sound separately, use an analog audio lead. Most televisions have a separate audio input linked to at least one HDMI input that will provide for a separate audio feed.


Can you hook a PS3 to a Toshiba qosmio?

Even if you found a way to connect it is would not allow the Laptop to work and only serve as a HDTV for the PS3. You would not be able to use the laptop to influence the game play. The PS3 would still need the power source and controller and you would still need a separate WiFi or Ethernet internet connection for online play. You would merely be using the A/V output of a PS3 to connect and play on your laptop

How can a PC Win2000 and laptop XP connect to the internet together using a hub?

If the is just a Hub, It will not work. You need a router/hub. A router/hub combination allows you to connect to your ISP and link all computers within your home. The cost is cheap and the installation is simple. I recommend you to purchase a router/hub at your local computer, electronics store. Follow the simple directions and you will be operational in no time.

How do you connect a hp printer to a laptop?

If you have a CD drive in your laptop and the printer comes with a CD with the installation program, just put it in and the install program should start immediately. Then just follow the screen prompts. If your laptop doesn’t have a CD drive, Go to the printer manufacturer’s website and download their driver for your OS and if they also include the installation program, download that too. Hookup the USB cable (which likely came with the printer) and when a popup message says to install the driver, point it to the folder you downloaded the driver into and follow the screen prompts. If you need more help then please connect with printer support USA +1 8669184391.
