Default Need printer info!!!

Hi All!

Can any of you help me figure out what peripherals are needed for my old printer. (I simply can't find them).

I want to give this printer to my friend who is going through a divorce and who is living with her mom. She has a computer which uses Windows XP. She needs a printer. I said "I have a printer in my closet and I used to use it with my computer and I have windows XP, so I don't think there will be a problem"

I went home, found the printer but for the life of me, I can't find the peripherals.

I went online and put in the name of the printer

It's a HP Deskjet 3940
I found a website that showed the cables but it said USB, and I just took a photo of the back of this printer. THIS IS NOT (TO MY KNOWLEDGE) A USB PORT.

The printer I am now using uses a parallel port connection. The old one (that I want to give her), does not have a parallel port. What is this port called?

Here's the photo



Also, what kind of power plug does this thing use.

I am completely clueless.

Thanks if anyone knows.

Melody

UPDATE UPDATE.

I'm not as stupid as I look.

I looked it up online. It's a Type B USB.
Now what kind of power cord.
P.S. I'm going back in the closet and try to find the peripherals.
I feel like a nut. lol
