Hello
If the instructions that you need a cable then you need a cable. On several printers now, you don't need USB cable for Setup (that's why many boxes do not have) and you can run the installation on your computer or a button on the printer.
Kind regards.

Lost all network drivers for Windows 7 64 bit
My sons laptop has lost all the network (without wireless and ethernet) drivers - uncertain cause or how to solve like any image to restore and unable to access the internet to download drivers. Is it possible to download drivers to another computer, except for the flash player and install it via USB?
Any help is appreciated...Yes, you must visit the manufacturer of PC Web site support and look for the laptop model and download the driver in the flash drive and move it to the laptop and install it.
I suggest to do a complete analysis of the system of the laptop for download:

Hi people,
When I plugged a new card reader, Lexar Pro USB 3.0 Dual Slot player, I lost all my saved metadata that are used for imports. Now, when I type in the metadata, it registers on the photos, but then it is not saved for later use, as it was before. I'm trying to save him, but it does not work. Any ideas? Is Lightroom 3, version 3.6. 10.8.5 Mac. Thank you, dwc
I think that's the problem. Go to the original catalog, uncheck it, close LR, open LR, and create the new catalog.
