Does anyone know the name for this type of USB cable? I can't find it at home and so I need to buy a replacement cable, but I have no idea what it is!

Thanks, but it's definitely USB as 1394 is about half the size of that connector. Thanks anyway.

It's called an A/B cable, I believe.


Be yourself, but make sure you don't sound like a dying sheep.

Seems to be the standard one for printers. Go and jack your printer cable!

A bit unnecessary as the answer had already been posted - I probably would have done a search if I was 100% sure it wasn't proprietary. But thanks all the same - first image result!
