I am by no means an expert on computers. It looks lke, from the pictures, the USB cable would be compatible however, to make sure I would purchase the printer first and look at the USB port on the printer to make sure. USB cables are not expensive and you could pick one up locally to make sure it works.

I just had a look at the HP website and the cable is not included. It does require a USB 2.0 port. So any high speed USB 2.0 cable should work. Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Jon

Yes.
USB cables are standard, unless it says otherwise.

Yes, they are compatible. No, there is no such thing as a usb cable that fits just one company's product, but most printers (including mine)--in fact a lot of things use the USB A to B cable (A is flat, B is more squarish) so its not a wild claim that it will work with all HP printers....
That is an A to B cable, so it will work.
Having said that, Circuit City has it for 10-15 bucks less, and you can pick it up a few minutes after you order it, and have less hassle with returns. If I lived near a CC, I'd go with them. Its only 53 in the cart, compared to 79 at Ebay.
EDIT: just to clarify, the HP page info for the P1005 says that it needs an A to B cable.

I have tons of these in my lab at work. I wish I could just send you one. But I don't want to steal from work.

I've found that most string is universal.
Some is just thicker than other. And length matters too.

Awe Im sorry i have a ton of these at home but I am literally broke. I live in seattle if there is anyone able to get this to him. Or maybe there is some way that he can pay for the shipping when he recieves it? Does that work for personal use or only businesses?

BTW, Ben, I must have used the wrong string . . . I couldn't get that method to work at all.

Oh, that's what I did wrong . . . I didn't have any cans, so I used coffee mugs (ceramic) instead.

How did you tie the string to the ceramic? It's easy to punch a hole in tin for the string, not so easy with that crumbly ceramic.
I'm telling ya, I'm not so enamored of these new technologies like computers or telephones to abandon the old style stuff like string and morse code.
