Chris A - B usb cable is flat on one end to go in to your pc and the other
end is square with the top two corners slightly angled off - you can buy
from any pc shop, curry's maplin, or argos.

New printers never come with a usb cable oddly enough! I'll never understand
why they are not included as it is essential to connect a printer in order
to use it!

And if you think back to your parallel and serial printers - they never came
with a cable either! 

Yet most other peripherals usually come with a connecting cable, be it a
phone or other piece of equipment!

Chris, I would first check whether they should have sent one.  Look at the
sheet that may have come to tell you what was in the box first and/or then
call them to check before you go out buying one.  After all, you'll almost
certainly get the right one then.  I haven't known a printer come without
its cables before.
