What type of connector is used to attach a printer to a computer?

USB
HDMI
Ethernet
Firewire

The correct answer is: USB

A USB connector is used to attach a printer to a computer because it is specifically designed for connecting external devices to a computer. It is the most commonly used type of connector for printers because it is affordable and readily available. Option B, HDMI, is incorrect because it is primarily used for connecting audio and video devices, not printers. Option C, Ethernet, is incorrect because it is primarily used for networking and internet connections, not connecting a printer to a computer. Option D, Firewire, is incorrect because it is a less common type of connector and is often used for high-speed data transfer rather than printer connections.
