Honestly, I don't remember if it came with one or not. I used the one from the my last printer.

In my case, yes. To hook up to my wireless network, the directions state to use a usb cord temporarily to configure your computer to the printer. It is in odd place on the inside of the machine. So if you will always use usb cord for wired use, check out the specs on brother website. http://www.brother-usa.com/VirData/Content/en-US%5CMFC%5CConsumer%5CQuickSetupGuide%5CQSG_MFC_J825DW_J835DW_EN_5046.PDF On page 28 it shows how to do for wireless networking.

I'm embarrassed answering this question asked almost a year ago, but if your computer does not have a Built-in Wireless LAN you need to buy a usb cord. My desktop PC was able to air-print and so I installed it without the usb cord. My laptop however is not able to air-print so I needed to purchase one anyway.

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.

No. You can connect the USB cord directly to computer. But for the wireless you do need a wireless network, and there are Internet features like Google Print that would only be available with an Internet connection.

Power cable is the only cable included. Any standard printer cable will work for USB. Coaxial or optical cables are the better choice if applicable. Best

It requires a USB cable; make sure you get the right fittings (the one that fits the printer is square or nearly square). When I called Canon, I was told that the printer HAS to have a cable, it cannot operate wirelessly. I do not understand why Canon doesn't supply a cable with the printer, or at least put in large letters on the box "REQUIRED USB CABLE NOT INCLUDED."

Mine didn't come with one and most printers do not include this cord. You can use one from an old printer but you can also set it up for wireless without needing to use a usb cord.

Page 42 of the Users Guide describes how to install the printer directly with a USB cable. This manual is available from the HP Support Center - http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc

Yes you have to use an usb port from the computer. A standard printer usb cord is used, standard usb on one end and the D on the other

Tom,Yes it does. I bought this printer a few weeks ago. No USB cable though!

Mine had CDs for drivers and additional software. Up-to-date drivers can be found online. Power cable included but not Ethernet nor USB, as I recall. Manuals were included too, though you can find those online too. BTW, this printer has worked very well for several years of light home office use.

I ordered my wife a laptop for Christmas and I bought her the exact printer that you are referring to. It did not come with a USB cable. It has a connection but you have to buy a separate cable to connect to your computer or laptop.

This pic on left is a power cord. Most printers come with power cords and USB cable. Some printers come without USB cable, about 20.00 . I've never seen printer without power cord.

Greg is right, here. You shouldn't need one - if your printer cable ends in a regular USB, buy a cable labeled USB Extension, with a name like the one Greg mentioned.

It does include a USB cord, however I have no idea if it works with the pogo printer.

I agree with what someone else pointed out (the printer is NOT Ethernet capable). I suspect that the seller has confused this Brother with a different model. The printer should come with a power cord--but those are a dime-a-dozen, as all computer equipment that plugs into an AC outlet directly (without using a power supply) has the same kind of cord, which you can buy online or even locally for a few dollars. But why don't you ask the seller? The printer does come (when new) with a power cord. It does NOT, however, come with a USB cord which is what you will need to connect it to a computer.
