As the title suggests - need a USB cable for a Canon i250 printer (are all USB printer cables the same ?). Really need it tonight early doors tomorrow - just don`t want to pay PCWorld a rip off £15 !! Do Tesco do such things ? Will need to go to Tesco/Comet/PCWorld cause need it in a rush -so count out tinternet.
Thanks, Spartacus

You`ll probably pass a pokey little independant PC place on the way to the big stores - pop in, you`ll get a USB cable for about £5 or something.

Cheers mate - think I`ll wait till the morning and try the pound shop (just done a search on here for USB printer cable and one post reckon they do them). Saves me £14 - or nearly 5 pints (not milk). 8)
Thanks again. The miser Spartacus

Not much help this but I bought one that arrived today from www.microdirect.co.uk to use with a Canon i250, cost me 80p plus VAT. PCWorld etc really are taking the pish. Good luck, hope you find one at a reasonable price.
